Matamoras is a small Delaware Valley borough experiencing new growth
Located at the tri-state junction of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, the borough of Matamoras is experiencing a revival while retaining its strong, small-town spirit. “You’ve got an overall familial vibe when you live here. There’s no way you can go around without knowing somebody,” says Ali Chaudhary, who helps run Smoker’s Paradise, his family's local small business in town. Just over 2,400 people call Matamoras home, a number that continues to grow. “Over the past few years, Matamoras has spiked in population and income growth. You’ve got new people coming in from New York City who’ve found a much more affordable area here,” Chaudhary says.
New townhouse construction is adding to a vintage housing stock
Matamoras was incorporated as a borough in 1905, and many of its homes were built in the first few decades of the 20th century. Homes built from the 1900s to 1950s have sold for between $100,000 and $430,000, and they tend to be Dutch Colonial, Colonial Revival or American Foursquare in style. Properties built from 1960 to 2000 attain higher sale prices, between $260,000 and $420,000. Recently, old aesthetics are coming to exist side-by-side with new construction. Brand-new townhouses built in the 2020s range in sale price from $410,000 to $580,000, and they occupy suburban side streets just outside Matamoras’ grid-patterned downtown area.

Local parks and valley viewpoints offer outdoor recreation
In addition to offering proximity to major parks along the Delaware River, Matamoras has its own small selection of outdoor spaces. Where fighter pilots once trained during World War II, families now take their children and dogs to Airport Park. This green space includes a playground, dog park, severla baseball fields and tennis courts. Matamoras is also close to the Hawks Nest Lookout just 5 miles to the northwest, across the New York state line. “Hawks Nest is extremely popular, and not just because of its unique view of the Delaware River. People go there with friends and family to sit down with food and snacks, enjoy the view and take a lot of photos,” Chaudhary says.
Airport Park is a great location for a run.

Local shops and restaurants regularly engage with the community
Matamoras has a highly localized economy, with residents either working in Matamoras’ expanding retail scene or in manufacturing and contracting jobs across the river in Port Jervis. Some of Matamoras’ shops double as gathering places for the community. “Franico’s Pizzeria is super local," Chaudhary says. "The owner of that shop is basically known by everyone in town." The Two Rivers Grille has repeatedly been voted the best restaurant in Pike County by the readers of the Pocono Record, serving everything from Korean barbecue to chicken marsala in a laid-back pub setting. Matamoras has its own Market 32 supermarket, while the ShopRite of Westfall Town Center is a short drive down Interstate 84.
