The City of Rio Vista is a community positioned for growth. Known as the Gateway to the Delta, Rio Vista offers scenic beauty, historic neighborhoods, recreational, and planned residential amenities. Rio Vista is within an easy drive to the Napa Wine Country, Coastal Beaches, San Francisco, Sierra ski resorts and Lake Tahoe.

Rio Vista is located near three major transportation corridors: Highway 12, a designated federal freight corridor, traverses the city and the Sacramento River, a deep water ship channel, border along the easterly boundaries of the city. Rail freight (Dixon), shipping (Ports of West Sacramento and Stockton), and major freeways (Interstate 5, 680 and 80) are within 25 to 35 miles of the city offering flexible mode choices for freight movement. The Sacramento River bordering the city is used for shipping and is connected to the Port of West Sacramento. The city is centrally located between the major commercial centers of Sacramento and San Francisco, accessible within one-half hour to an hour.

Rio Vista is considered one of the most affordable places in the San Francisco Bay Area to buy or build new homes, with a market value of $150,000 to $400,000 for two-to four-bedroom houses. Employers are conscious of the need for affordable housing for their new recruits, thus meeting the skill levels needed to run a successful industry or business. The calm and serene ambience and good schools will be an added attraction to new employees moving into the city.
