Águas Claras, Salvador

Águas Claras (lit. 'Clear Waters') is a neighborhood located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, on the BR-324 highway, near the city limits to the northwest. Like most neighborhoods in the city center, it faces problems such as insufficient basic infrastructure. Various voluntary and government initiatives have helped to alleviate this situation. The neighborhood has public schools, container storage warehouses, and other facilities.^{[citation needed]}

Due to public transportation projects in the neighborhood, real estate speculation has increased the price per square meter of land along BR-324, despite it still being one of the areas most lacking in urban infrastructure in Salvador.^[1] The neighborhood belongs to Administrative Region XIV (Fourteen) - "Cajazeiras".^[2]
