Rio Vista
$2.6M-$25MTree-lined waterfront enclave just off Las Olas with deep-water docks, larger lots, and one of the lowest through-traffic profiles in central Fort Lauderdale.
Every recommendation here radiates from the Florida Panthers' practice home, the Baptist Health IcePlex at 800 NE 8th St in Fort Lauderdale's Holiday Park, not from the Sunrise game arena 25 miles west. A player skating daily lives, eats, and recovers along the Las Olas, Victoria Park, Rio Vista, and Coral Ridge corridor that surrounds the rink. These picks prioritize a short, private commute back to the IcePlex.
