The neighborhood sits approximately one mile east of downtown San Marcos and the Texas State University campus. Rio Vista borders several interconnected parks along the river, including Rio Vista Park, which features the well-known Rio Vista Falls dam.
Homes in Rio Vista are largely midcentury construction, with many built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Architectural styles include compact bungalows and ranch-style homes with modest yard sizes. Some properties have carports rather than enclosed garages. Home prices in the neighborhood typically range from approximately $200,000 to $550,000, with the neighborhood split roughly evenly between owner-occupied and renter-occupied properties.
