Dear Loriemoms,
By scanning the responses, I see that the variety of input you are getting might make things more confusing for you than less.

Here is our experience: Even before we actually arrived, we started using the 32163 zip code and have never lost any mail or had a delivery problem in over two years. This is true in three of "The Villages" properties we have bought in Wildwood (the Hammock in Fenny, Deluna and Richmond) All are south of 44 and all three are physically located within the City of Wildwood. The delivery people here are well versed in how The Villages address system works and the gradual shift from one zip code to the new one.

Your Villages real-estate rep and/or closing department should give you your new zip code that comes with the property. That's the one I would use, not the old one. I'm thinking that using the old one might have some unintended bad consequences.

Good Luck and welcome to The Villages. You're gonna love it.
