About Rio Vista
Rio Vista is one of Fort Lauderdale's oldest and most prestigious neighborhoods, established in the 1930s along the New River and Intracoastal Waterway. The neighborhood features a mix of Mediterranean Revival estates, modern waterfront homes, and tree-lined streets with a quiet, established residential character.
Deep-water yacht dockage is available on many properties, with direct Intracoastal and ocean access. The Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale — a mile-long linear park along the New River — connects Rio Vista to downtown, the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and the NSU Art Museum.
The historic Stranahan House, Fort Lauderdale's oldest surviving structure (1901), sits at the neighborhood's northern edge. Rio Vista offers the rare combination of waterfront living, historic charm, and walkable access to Las Olas Boulevard and downtown.
