This is because its area, located in the northwest of the city, is surrounded by centennial trees and colorful plants. “Look at this tree, it is over a hundred years old and has been officially protected by the Historic Heritage,” says the poet. The tree she refers to is popularly known as Barriguda and is located on Sebastião Alves Street, in front of the Príncipe de Orange Building. As in other neighborhoods, Tamarineira blends among the trees and skyscrapers. Located between the neighborhoods of Parnamirim, Mangabeira, Jaqueira and Rosarinho, Tamarineira – “common designation for trees of the Tamarindus genus, of the legume family” (Houaiss electronic dictionary, 2009) and whose fruit is known as tamarind – although native to the African savannas, is widely cultivated in Brazil, but mainly in India. According to Bernadete, the neighborhood originated from a land development project started in 1982 in the area known as Sítio da Tamarineira. With an area of approximately 100.9 hectares, the site was expropriated to make way for one of the largest psychiatric complexes in the country, the Ulysses Pernambucano Hospital, or, for those who prefer: the Tamarineira Hospital. “It has had several names, including Casa da Misericórdia, and now it bears the name of one of the state’s most renowned psychiatrists, Ulysses Pernambucano,” the guide reiterates. Today, in addition to the Ulysses Pernambucano Hospital, the Helena Moura Children’s Hospital and the Alcoholism Treatment and Prevention Center (CPTRA) also operate on the premises. Known for the presence of the Tamarineira Hospital in that area, the neighborhood came to be synonymous with psychiatric treatment and, consequently, with psychiatric illness itself. For anyone who has never seen the other side of Tamarineira Hospital, it is difficult to understand the reality of those who live inside the public building, which, incidentally, goes against all stereotypes associated with the place. “The hospital has been keeping pace with change. It is a pioneer in implementing treatments that promote patient interaction with society,” assures the hospital director, Benvinda Magalhães. >> 4 TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE IDEAL PROPERTY TO BUY: > Do not think only about your current marital status. Real estate is built to last. Therefore, your choice should take into account not only today, but also your life plans. You can find houses and apartments of various sizes, and this will also influence the number of bedrooms the property has. If you plan to live alone, assess whether the property you are about to purchase will meet your needs at least in the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment, for example, can accommodate a future spouse and even a crib-sized child. But if starting a family is closer to your reality, it may be best to consider properties with 2 or even 3 bedrooms. In this way, you ensure a home that will support your life plans. > Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are considering are in a well-located area. This does not mean being in a central area, but rather having good infrastructure nearby to meet everyday and unexpected needs. Get to know the neighborhood: check whether there are pharmacies, bakeries, supermarkets, health clinics, schools, as well as good public transportation coverage. This will be necessary and, in the end, may save you considerable effort. > Assess whether the “utilities” meet your needs. Number of bathrooms, parking spaces, elevator, accessibility, built-in closets… Each one has its usefulness depending on your needs and therefore must be taken into consideration. For those who own cars or motorcycles, not having a parking space can generate a high monthly cost that, in the end, will be much more expensive than a slightly larger investment for these features, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a service area large enough for a washing machine. With the rush of everyday life, it is not always possible to wash clothes by hand, and the lack of space for the washer can lead to recurring laundry expenses that would make it unfeasible to cover all costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a more aligned and viable choice. > Check whether your dream fits your financial reality. You may dream of having a larger apartment, with a service area, spacious bedrooms and everything else. However, before you start searching, be realistic: evaluate your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment supported by FGTS, financing can still be costly due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow holds. So do not aim higher than you can. Assess the available budget, run financing simulations and only then begin your property search. This way, you can align your dream with your reality and avoid taking on something you will not be able to fulfill. By following these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal.
