What makes it special
- The Paquetá waterfall is in Bexiga, about a 30-minute walk on a trail, with a view of the São Sebastião channel (Tamoios News); in 2018 the city knocked down an illegal wall on Rua Nagib Pombo that blocked access to a waterfall in the neighbourhood (city).
- It has two municipal schools, E.M. Sebastião Leite and E.M. Anna Leite (city Catalogue), and a new early-years unit for about 150 children was announced in 2024 (city).
- The SP-131 between Praia Grande and Bexiga is being rebuilt with widening, new asphalt, lighting, a roundabout into the neighbourhood and a bike lane, with drainage, water and sewage networks planned (city, 2025).
- In July 2026, 67 families in the Bexiga settlement received street-address authorisations, which let them request regular water and power connections (city).
What to weigh
- Part of the neighbourhood grew out of irregular subdivision and has been in land-title regularisation for years (city, 2018); check the registry, the deed and the water and power connections before buying.
- Expect roadworks: Av. Riachuelo between Feiticeira and Bexiga was under works in October 2026 (Tamoios News), and so was the SP-131 stretch to the neighbourhood (city).
Who it suits
Arvita’s reading, based on the facts above.
- Families who live on the island year-round and want a municipal school close to home in the south.
- People who like waterfalls and trails within walking distance of home.
