A wrinkle to all of this is that some software programs used by businesses, etc., do not recognize the existence of The Villages as a postal entity. Therefore, when you tell some entity that you live in The Villages, zip 32162. you may still get mail addressed to Lady Lake, zip 32162.
I get all sorts of unsolicited return address labels. Most show The Villages, some show Lady Lake; both undoubtedly show the correct nine-digit zip.
Both are valid, but I prefer to use only those that read The Villages.
Some of the problem stems from the fact that, as I understand it, all mail destined for The Villages comes to and is sorted at the Lady Lake Post Office, off of Coiunty Road 25.
