About Matalud
Within San Jorge's barangay network in Samar, Matalud is a quiet residential enclave. Property transactions here are primarily end-user driven: families buying a permanent home and workers seeking affordable accommodation near employment centers. Flood risk is a key due diligence item in San Jorge — verify the property's specific flood history before committing. Buyers comparing Matalud against other San Jorge barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points. The deciding factors typically come down to lot size, distance from the main road, and the specific flood history of the property street rather than the barangay name.
Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Matalud's high flood-risk designation means property-level due diligence is non-negotiable. Elevation within the barangay matters significantly — a lot that is even half a meter higher than its neighbor can be meaningfully safer. Buyers should inspect the finished floor level of target properties and any flood barriers installed by the barangay or developer.
Transport
