5375 Ortega Farms Blvd

The Venetian on the Ortega is a low-rise, waterfront condominium community built in 1969 comprising two-story buildings with ground-floor and second-floor 2-bedroom residences and occasional 3-bedroom layouts. Architecturally the complex emphasizes mid-century low-profile massing with private balconies or patios overlooking canals that connect to the Ortega River. Interiors vary by unit but commonly include open floorplans, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, built-ins, breakfast bars or kitchen islands, walk-in closets, split-bedroom plans, and smart-home thermostats; many units have updated kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances, tile or laminate flooring, and stacked washer/dryers. Shared site amenities are oriented to active coastal living: a gated entry, waterfront clubhouse, sundeck and large pool, fitness center with sauna, outdoor grilling deck, courtyard and firepit, private boat ramp/dock and rentable boat slips. The homeowners association covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, pool and clubhouse upkeep, trash, water and sewer and, in some listings, flood insurance; parking is surface-level with guest spaces. The community sits near retail, restaurants, and NAS Jacksonville, offering direct river access for boating and a suburban neighborhood lifestyle with recreational waterfront benefits.
