Bordered on the east by the St. Johns River, on the north and west by the Ortega River and on the south by Venetia, this community is a peninsula on the river. Convenient private schools, area churches and small parks along the river contribute to Ortega’s charm. The Florida Yacht Club and Timuquana Country Club offer private social and recreational opportunities. Worth Magazine ranked Ortega 46th among the nation’s top 50 wealthiest neighborhoods. The area offers just about any style of architecture, and homes range in size from average sites to stately, sprawling estates. Built in 1927, the Ortega River Bridge is Jacksonville’s oldest functioning drawbridge.
