I don’t think it is still true, but I believe at one time the Villages would keep the third key. We have two homes in the Villages, both built in 2005, both had two keys. For the first one, the two keys turned over at closing did not work in the assigned mailbox. The Villages gave us their key, which worked, but we needed at least two keys. Our realtor had USPS change the lock and turned over three keys for that box.
We have two golf carts and one car, and keep the keys in each vehicle. The house with only two keys only has keys in the golf carts. It does mean sometimes we don’t get the mail that day, as we drive by and realize we forgot to get a key out of the carts.
