Rio Vista residents generally benefit from spectacular vistas of flowing tropical flora and fauna, tall indigenous trees, and marina outlooks that are second to none. Those located directly on vast water expanses never tire of the continuous stunning visions that take in boats streaming back and forth, egrets and pelicans dive-bombing for fish, and amazing sunsets and sundowns. 

Architecture is diverse, the product of multiple construction entities entering the arena to add their innovative styles, as follows: 

• In a regenerating community, Key West, coastal Mediterranean, Tuscan, Spanish Revival, and the oncoming trend-train - contemporary and ultra-modern clean-cut lines. 
• Moreover, early vintage residence owners who went the renovation route have adopted the same approach. So, upgrades massively play into pricing.
• Many homes on the isle formations and other aqua-centric locations have deep water docks in their backyards catering to 75' vessels - going as high as 125'. Indeed, some point lots accommodate double yacht slips. Consequently, these homes have easy access to ocean inlets without fixed bridges.

As an ungated suburb, there are zero HOA fees for single family homes. However, condo and townhome owners in low and medium-rise towers must contribute to building maintenance & insurance, ground upkeep, lobby security, and amenities like heated pools, fitness centers, allocated underground parking, and clubhouses.

Its north and south sides are the New River and SE 12th St (an extension of Davie Boulevard to the south), respectively, with The Stranahan River creeping into the picture at the southeast corner. Finally, the entire neighborhood is slightly south of Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
