The Rio Vista neighborhood is a community of over 1,000 homes, situated next to downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
It is one of the oldest communities in Fort Lauderdale and features tree-lined streets, sidewalks and unique architecture.
An era of prosperity and new transportation in the 1920s allowed Fort Lauderdale to begin the migration from an agricultural community to a resort town.
By February 1923, the Ft. Lauderdale Herald (now the Sun Sentinel) reported that Rio Vista was booming, with over 5,000 feet of sidewalk laid and streetlights were installed.
Rio Vista development began again, and today, the area reflects the history.
