Does the first two digits have some special meaning like what village you're in or something like that?[/QUOTE

The Villages does not assign house number. The house numbers are pre assigned by The United States Postal Service.
Seriously? Then someone at USPS has a great sense of humor. I mean what are they expecting, one house on my street is x81 the next one to it is x93, the lots are postage stamp size - were they thinking in the future 5 houses would be built in between them?
