The area chosen by the Portuguese for sugarcane cultivation was the floodplain of the Capibaribe, on the banks of the river of the same name. The first mill in the region was Santo Antônio. However, Engenho São João became the best known. The land was fertile, with abundant water, and the mills quickly multiplied. Around 1630, the Capibaribe floodplain had 16 sugar mills in full operation. In the most central portion of the land, on the right bank of the river, a settlement developed immediately, becoming a parish under the invocation of Our Lady of the Rosary. The first chapel in Várzea would date back to 1612. Some time later, precisely in 1746, the parish of Várzea had 2,998 inhabitants, 18 chapels, 11 mills in operation, and 4 idle mills (that is, inactive). The sugar produced there was transported by small vessels along the Capibaribe River to the port of Recife. At the end of the first half of the 19th century, Várzea became the center of a dispute as a holiday colony. The crystal-clear waters of the river attracted residents of Recife who came from all parts of the city. These baths (said to have healing powers) boosted the locality until 1880, when pollution of the Capibaribe began and the colony lost momentum. Beyond its economic strength, Várzea do Capibaribe also witnessed important historical episodes. It was at Engenho São João, for example, that plans for revolt against the Dutch were discussed. And at the Várzea Main Church, the body of the Indigenous leader Felipe Camarão, one of the heroes of the battles that expelled the Dutch, was buried. >> 4 TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE IDEAL PROPERTY TO BUY: > Do not think only about your current marital status. Real estate is highly durable. Therefore, you should make your choice not only with today in mind, but also with your life plans. It is possible to find houses and apartments of different sizes, and this will also influence the number of bedrooms the property has. If you plan to live alone, consider whether the property you are about to acquire will meet your needs for at least the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment for a single person, for example, can accommodate a future spouse and even a crib for a child. But if starting a family is closer to your reality, it may be ideal to look at 2- or even 3-bedroom properties. In this way, you secure a home that will support your life plans. > Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are considering are well located. This does not mean being in a central area, but having good infrastructure nearby to meet everyday needs and unexpected situations. Get to know the neighborhood: check whether there are pharmacies, bakeries, supermarkets, health centers, schools, as well as good access to public transportation. This will be necessary and, in the end, may save you a great deal of effort. > Evaluate 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 create a high monthly cost that, in the end, will be much more expensive than a slightly larger investment for these items, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a service area that can accommodate 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 a washer may generate recurring laundry expenses that would make it impossible to cover all other costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a choice that is better aligned and feasible. > 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 looking for it, be realistic: assess your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment with FGTS support, financing can still be expensive due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow may bring. So do not aim higher than you can handle. Review your available budget, run simulations in case of financing, and only then begin your property search. This way, you will be able to align your dream with your reality and avoid committing to something you cannot fulfill. By following these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal. So, be sure to consider these items! Didn't find what you were looking for or want more information about other properties in Recife and the surrounding area?
