Historic Ortega lies on the St Johns River just south of the historic Riverside area. Ortega is bordered by the St. Johns River on the West, the Cedar River on the South, and the Ortega river on the East, practically making it an "inland island." Ortega is home to hundreds of mid-size to large, turn-of-the-century homes and Southern Style mansions. Many of these antebellum homes are situated directly on the river, and the nature of the "island" allows ease of access to the waterways for all residents.

Along with Avondale and Riverside, Ortega is home to some of the wealthiest of Jacksonville families. It is marked by a distinctly traditional Southern culture complete with one of the South's most exclusive debutante coiteries. The island is almost exclusively residential, the only exception being a small square in the section known as "Old Ortega" on the northern end where a small collection of restaurants, boutiques, and a pharmacy are found. The area is also home to the historic and exclusive Florida Yacht Club and Timuquana Country Club. Ortega, with its giant oaks, antebellum waterfront mansions, and series of parks is widely considered one of the most beautiful residential areas of Northeast Florida.  


In July of 2010, there were 3 residential homes sold in the Ortega FL real estate market. The median sales price was $228,000 with the highest priced home selling for $240,000 and the lowest priced selling for $200,000.

There are many wonderful homes in this area, but you need a local market expert to help you. Watson Realty Corp is a locally owned company with over 40 years experience selling homes in the area. Call the Watson experts at 800-257-5143.
