Due to its proximity to the center of Fabriciano and its access to urban services and leisure activities, Professores has become an upscale residential neighborhood.

Julita Pires Bretas Avenue borders the Caladão Stream, which cuts through the city and receives dirt and pollution from homes and small industries, workshops or slaughterhouses on its banks.

[8][5] In 2010, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) estimated that 887 inhabitants lived in the neighborhood, which is comparable to the two least populous cities in Brazil: Borá, in São Paulo, and Serra da Saudade, in Minas Gerais.

[2][1][5] The neighborhood is appreciated by the real estate sector, as homes are predominant and it is located next to the center of Fabriciano, one of the main commercial hubs in the region.

It is covered by the Catholic pastoral work of the Community and Parish of Saint Sebastian, which represents the headquarters of the Diocese of Itabira-Fabriciano, and hosts some of the division's activities and events.

Initially established in the Nossa Senhora do Carmo neighborhood on February 15, 1968, the institution moved to its current building in 1983 after successive temporary relocations.

[10][11][12][13][14] The Pastor Pimentel Interchange, which is the link between Magalhães Pinto and Tancredo Neves avenues, also divides the residential area and the center of Fabriciano from the Giovannini neighborhood and the Senador Melo Viana district.

Until the 1990s, the Corpus Christi Procession began at the Parish Church of Saint Sebastian, headed to Pedro Nolasco Street and returned to the temple.
