>> History

The lands in this region were the first to be divided among the Portuguese settlers who began the colonization of Pernambuco in the first half of the 16th century.

The area chosen by the Portuguese for sugarcane cultivation was the Capibaribe floodplain, along the bank of the river of the same name. The first mill in the region was Santo Antônio. However, it was the São João Mill that became better known. The lands were fertile, with abundant water, and soon the mills 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 quickly developed, becoming a parish under the invocation of Our Lady of the Rosary. The first chapel in Várzea dates back to 1612. Later, in 1746, the parish of Várzea had 2,998 inhabitants, 18 chapels, 11 mills in operation and 4 inactive mills (that is, shut down). The sugar produced there was transported by small boats 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 summer retreat dispute. 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) kept the area active until 1880, when the pollution of the Capibaribe began and the retreat lost momentum. In addition to its economic strength, Várzea do Capibaribe was also the scene of important historical episodes. It was at Engenho São João, for example, that plans for a revolt against the Dutch were discussed. And at the Várzea Mother 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. Properties are durable assets. Therefore, you need to 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 intend to live alone, consider whether the home you are about to acquire will meet your needs at least in the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment for a single person, for example, can accommodate a future spouse and even a crib for a baby. But if starting a family is closer to your reality, it may be best to look at properties with 2 or even 3 bedrooms. In this way, you secure a home that will fit your life plans.

> Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are considering are in a good location. This does not necessarily 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 a great deal of effort.

> Evaluate whether the "utilities" meet your needs. Number of bathrooms, parking spaces, elevator, accessibility, built-in cabinets… Each one serves a purpose depending on your needs and therefore must be taken into account. For those with cars or motorcycles, not having a parking space can create a high monthly cost that, in the end, will be far more expensive than making a slightly larger investment for these features, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a laundry area that can accommodate a washing machine. With the rush of daily life, it is not always possible to wash clothes by hand, and the lack of space for a washer can lead to recurring laundry expenses that would make it difficult to cover all costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a choice that is better aligned and feasible.

> Make sure your dream fits your financial reality. You may dream of a larger apartment, with a laundry area, spacious bedrooms, and everything else. However, before you start looking, be realistic: assess your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment using FGTS, financing can be costly due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Therefore, do not aim higher than you can afford. Evaluate the available budget, run financing simulations, and only then begin your property search. This way, you will be able to align your dream with your reality, avoiding committing to something you cannot fulfill. By following these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal. So be sure to consider these points!
