A breathtaking neighborhood that every buyer is sure to love. Rio Vista, a lush community positioned next to Downtown Fort Lauderdale, is one of the oldest communities in Broward County. Comprising of over 1000 estate homes, Rio Vista is practically perfect in every way with mint-colored tree-lined streets creating a canopy of peacefulness and elegant architecture reflecting the Mediterranean Revival and modern contemporary narrative. Dating back to the ending of World War I, Rio Vista is steeped in history, beginning with the bygone era of the 1920s when Fort Lauderdale was beginning to transform from an agricultural neighborhood to a developed resort town. Purchased by C.J. Hector from Mary Brickell (wife of William Brickell), Rio Vista initially took shape in 1923 with over 5,000 sidewalks and streetlights installed. Today, nearly one century later, this plush enclave has become one of the most affluent areas in Fort Lauderdale, dawning some of the most luxurious estate homes and picturesque palaces on the real estate market.
