====Marietta====

Marietta is one of the small farming communities that was absorbed during the 1968 consolidation of Jacksonville with Duval County. Though technically a part of the city proper today, much of Marietta still retains its small-town, and even rural "feel", with some old-style farms and ranches, and most homes occupying lots of ten acres or more, on which they keep horses and cattle,  or raise grain and maintain orchards.  Marietta is popular with old Southern families,  and new families who moved to Jacksonville from mid-western agriculural states.

====Ortega====

====Ortega====

Historic Ortega lies on the St Johns River just south of Riverside, starting at the confluence of the St Johns, and Cedar Rivers. It is practically an "inland island". Ortega stretches from the St Johns River to the East, and the Ortega River to the West, and is bordered by the Cedar River to the North, and the property line of the US Naval Air Staion Jacksonville to the South. Some sections of Ortega date to just after the Civil War, and other sections are like new. All sections of Ortega are quite exclusive. Ortega is home to hundreds of mid-size, to large, spacious, turn-of-the-century homes and Southern Style mansions near the St Johns River, and many hundreds more modern brick homes on the Cedar and Ortega Rivers to the North and West. Many of the older streets are cobble-stone. Many of these homes date back to the Civil War, and many are on the river, or have river access. Along with Avondale, and Riverside, Ortega was originally, and still is home to some of the wealthiest of Jacksonville families, as shown by the large number of Southern Mansions. However, Ortega, due to its exclusivity, never went into decay, despite its age. The Ortega area is popular with those families who prefer to live in an area with a Southern lifestyle and culture, and own larger old Southern Style homes, with easy access to the river, and yet still near downtown. Ortega is exclusively residential, except on the southern tip, where a business district of restaurants, and supermarkets exists next to the property line of the US Naval Air Station Jacksonville. Ortega is also home to the historic, and exclusive, Florida Yacht Club.
