511 SE 5th Ave

One of the oldest established areas in Fort Lauderdale, the scenic Rio Vista neighborhood encompasses the best of South Florida living. A walk through the neighborhood's palm-tree-lined streets reveals well-maintained Spanish Colonial houses and ultra-modern condos, many of which are available for rent. Rio Vista lives up to its name, with many homes boasting beautiful views of the three rivers that run through the neighborhood: the Tarpon, Stranahan, and New Rivers.

While the area offers numerous rental options, boating enthusiasts in Rio Vista often opt to live by the Tarpon River or the Stranahan River, which both lead to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Largely residential, Rio Vista exudes a welcoming community atmosphere. Residents frequently come together at outdoor movies and social events hosted by the local civic association throughout the year.
