If you want a P. O. Box go to one of the post offices and rent one. They are in Fruitland Park, Wildwood, Oxford and Lady Lake. I'm sure all the mailing/packing stores located in various shopping centers around TV will rent boxes as well.
The Post Office provdes 3 keys for every box. In past years, The Villages would only give the buyer 2 keys, but, I think they now provide all 3 keys to the buyer. For a resale, the seller should provide at least 2 keys, or they should pay for a new mailbox lock.
