Closed sales from the realMLS IDX feed; years with fewer than three sales are omitted. Medians, not estimates of any one home. "Of asking" is the median sold price as a share of the final list price. † A partial year in the feed: it carries only some of that year’s sales, so the median rests on fewer homes and the percent change above starts at the first full year.

This market, from the inside

West-bank river homes are historic-district homes first: the preservation review governs the exterior, the bulkhead and dock carry their own permits, and the 2017 crest reached these streets too. I run all of it before an offer.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ortega River the same as the St. Johns?

No. The Ortega River is a tributary that joins the St. Johns at the Ortega Point; its frontage is calmer water with the marinas and yacht clubs, and the MLS lists it as river frontage too. The St. Johns frontage along Riverside and Avondale is open water with the bigger views and the bigger surge exposure.

Does riverfront always mean dock access?

No. The MLS separates river frontage, river access and navigable water, and dock rights depend on the bulkhead, the permits and the depth at the specific lot. I confirm what a listing actually allows before you fall for the view.

Looking for riverfront homes in Ortega, Avondale & Riverside?

I’ll send new listings the moment they hit the market and walk through the details that don’t show up in the MLS — water access, HOA rules, what a feature really costs to maintain.
