Why Buy a Home in Rio Vista

Rio Vista is an area of South Florida that has a history that’s just as rich as the people who live there. Rio Vista (its name meaning “River View” in Spanish) is an affluent community that has over 1,000 homes that are situated right next to downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was originally owned by Mary Brickell, who is the late wife of one of Miami’s co-founders, William Brickell.
 
Upon her passing, the land of Rio Vista was bought by C.J. Hector, who began the development of “River View”. By early 1923, the Fort Lauderdale Herald (which would later have its name changed to the Sun Sentinel) reported that Rio Vista had become a booming community with over 5,000 feet of sidewalk laid and streetlights installed. After the end of World War II, the city would once again boom with residency as thousands of veterans had returned from service to settle in the area.
 
Many of our clients often decide to move into Rio Vista due to this abundance of historical value. But of course, that’s not the only reason why Rio Vista real estate is valuable.
