I think the situation where the postal address is different from the actual town in which the house is located is common.

We had that situation in Nashville and it was at times quite confusing. I lived in Brentwood, TN a very affluent town with top rated schools. The Brentwood post office sat right on the Brentwood/Nashville line. People in Nashville who lived near the Brentwood post office had a Brentwood mailing address. If you asked them where they lived, they would say "Brentwood" All their mail said "Brentwood". Their driver's licenses, all similar paperwork said "Brentwood". But they sent their kids to Nashville schools, not Brentwood, and taxes went to Nashville. They actually lived in Nashville.

I think it is a similar situation here.
