Ortega Island is a gated enclave within Jacksonville's Ortega district, reached through a single entrance off Ortega Forest Drive on the western side of the Ortega peninsula. Surrounded by the waters of the Ortega River, the community is made up of custom single-family homes and waterfront lots on quiet cul-de-sac streets, many with private docks, bulkheaded shoreline and views across the river to the Ortega mainland. It sits within one of Jacksonville's oldest and most established residential districts, south of Riverside and Avondale, with Stockton Park, local marinas and the Florida Yacht Club a short drive away. Public schools are part of Duval County Public Schools, and Roosevelt Boulevard, which is US 17, provides the route north toward downtown Jacksonville.
