About Colonia Granjas Familiares del Matamoros, Tijuana

Granjas Familiares del Matamoros is the largest colonia in this batch at 206 hectares, spread across La Presa along Avenida Bonanza, Avenida del Espigal, Boulevard Granados and Avenida de la Campiña. The name records its origin as family smallholdings, and the scale still shows in the layout.

It borders Cañón del Padre, Jardín Dorado, Lomas del Matamoros, Lomas Terrabella and Peñón. Parque Acacias provides open space, and the Centro de Salud Valle Verde serves the area alongside dental practices. Two transport operators keep yards inside the boundary — Transporte de Baja California and a Calafias workshop — which is a use the space here still allows.

Calimax Riberas del Bosque anchors the food shopping, with a Circle K on Matamoros and an Oxxo at La Noria. Distributors and a bodega handle wholesale, and Aragón Boxing Club covers recreation. For a colonia of this size the retail is thin, which is a function of its low density rather than its population.

Granjas Familiares del Matamoros covers 206 hectares in the La Presa delegación, bordered by Canon Del Padre, Jardin Dorado, Lomas Del Matamoros and Lomas Terrabella. The routed drive to the store is 12.1 miles, about 19 minutes of driving, with the border wait separate and reported live on this site.

  • 206 hectares, the largest in this batch

Neighbourhood insights

What makes Colonia Granjas Familiares del Matamoros, Tijuana distinctive?

At 206 hectares Granjas Familiares still carries working transport yards alongside its housing, a mix that the density of the inner colonias no longer allows.

Why do people here use a U.S. mailbox?

Retail is thin for the area covered, so ordering is already normal here — and a San Ysidro address extends it to U.S. sellers that refuse Mexican delivery.

Who uses the service most from this area?

Households ordering appliances and tools, workshops sourcing parts, and families consolidating orders across a long drive.

Nearby landmarks

Granjas Familiares is read by its scale and its mixed use — housing, a park, and working transport yards sharing 206 hectares.
