Welcome to Rio Vista

 
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.
 
Resting on deep water canals with large turning basins and depths ranging from 4 to 12 feet, Rio Vista is the idyllic waterfront community for boat connoisseurs with direct ocean access and no fixed bridges. Spacious lots make it simple to own large vessels and sport boats with the added amenity of private dockage. Epitomizing South Florida living, residents can enjoy extraordinary outdoor rooms that are stylish and relaxing, featuring sparkling swimming pools, spa-like Jacuzzis, fully equipped summer kitchens and panoramic water views. Situated minutes from open water, there is no better address to anchor aboard for an afternoon at sea or host a stunning champagne soiree by the water’s edge.

Harbor Beach Surf Club, one of the most elite members-only clubs in the area, offers nearby locals the opportunity to indulge in the lapse of luxury with a 300-foot private beach club and exclusive marina for the pro-yachtsmen looking to set sail on the Atlantic Ocean. Founded in 1942, the Harbor Beach Surf Club is one of the area’s most prestigious landmarks turn country clubs, drawing a sophisticated silhouette to a time when Fort Lauderdale remained untouched in its natural state. Accessible via a private footbridge, members can satisfy all of their everlasting summer dreams inside the walls of Harbor Beach Surf Club.
