Toca, Ilhabela: what the neighborhood is like, what to weigh, the market

What makes it special

At Estrada da Toca, 123, the E.M. Prefeito Roberto Fazzini runs full-day classes from nursery to year 5 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela), and the Nelson Sant'Anna municipal library is at the same address (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
In 2018, the city declared the núcleo an area of social interest and public utility and started surveying it to split it into individual lots (Prefeitura de Ilhabela), and announced that Green Park would be the first of the city's 15 núcleos to get individual title deeds, ending a problem that had dragged on for 28 years (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
In 2022, the city opened a tender to build 176 social-housing homes in Green Park, each with two bedrooms, on an area of about 55,000 m² on Estrada da Toca (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).

In 2017, geological studies of the Estrada de Castelhanos (Green Park) núcleo looked at how exposed its buildings were to flooding and landslides, and a CDHU retaining-works project planned to remove some threatened buildings (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). In April 2026, inspectors found irregular buildings, clearing and illegal earthworks in a permanent preservation area in Green Park (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Check the registry record, the lot's environmental status and the building permit.
Heavy rain has hit the neighbourhood before: in December 2022, Green Park was among the worst-affected areas when rain fouled the intake of the Água Branca water treatment plant (Prefeitura de Ilhabela), and in December 2025 street clearing after the storms focused on areas such as Água Branca, Green Park and Reino (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). A water tank is worth having.
