Niche Reviews 
Located about 14 miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville, Ortega Hills has a small-town atmosphere, with single-story homes for rent nestled between beautiful green trees. The military has a strong presence in this neighborhood, as the Jacksonville Naval Air Station sits next to Ortega Hills on the other side of Route 17. Locals make sure to hit the annual NAS Jax Air Show to see the Blue Angels, who started their performing careers at this show.
Ortega Hills residents enjoy hanging out at Fleet Reserve and playing some darts. On hot weekend days, check out the Ortega Hills Playground park, a great place to relax or grill up some burgers. With Interstate 295 on the southern edge of this neighborhood, you have quick access to the rest of Jacksonville.

Updated apartments and appliances better upkeep of grounds flooding around apartment After at the rain ,Better maintenance better management, they need to understands Everyone deserves a clean environment to live and come home to update pictures of the apartment so people won't be surprised at the low grade units that they receive rent prices need to change due to the low upkeep of the units they need to update their kitchens bathrooms my unit is falling apart, every apartment need to match the model homes condition that's showed when people apply for units it's misleading , there's a lot of disrespect when you need work orders did, work orders get deleted even though they're not completed there's no compromising with the maintenance or the owner I'm in a position where I can't wait to leave this place I have nothing but regrets and hate coming home I really believe some people get treated better than others just can't wait for my lease to be up wouldn't rent again never !!!

There is no night life whatsoever if you want to go out late at night it would probably have to be fast food. Most restaurants close at 9-10

There aren't really any great job opportunities in this area unless you want to work at a gas station or fast food restaurant.
