Rio Vista  is an affluent community of over 1,000 homes, situated next to downtown Fort Lauderdale, its name means "River View" in Spanish. It is one of the oldest communities in Fort Lauderdale and features tree-lined streets, sidewalks and unique architecture.

Geographically located South of the New River (the tunnel on US 1) and North of the SE 17th Street Causeway, East of Federal Highway and West of the Intracoastal Waterway. 


Rio Vista is popular for locals who work downtown and want a quick travel to work or anyone commuting South to Miami as Rio Vista is basically the most Southern East Fort Lauderdale neighborhood. Rio Vista has major appeal for any serious boater (YachtGizmo) due to its proximity to Port Evergaldes and is one of the three major Southeast waterfront neighborhoods, with Las Olas and Harbor Beach being the others. A boater in Rio Vista can be out to the Atlantic Ocean in literally minutes....
