Shortly after moving here I had my driver license updated to reflect my new address which was "The Villages 32162". Five years later at renewal the State arbitrarily recorded my address as "Lady Lake 32162".

During my travels I am frequently asked for my zip code. I inform them it is 32162 and they hit a few keys on their computer and sometimes come up with Lady Lake and sometimes The Villages. One time on a trip up I95 we stopped at a motel and the clerk checked our zip code and it came up The Villages. She then asked for an ID and I showed her my driver's license and I started to explain why it had Lady Lake and she said she already knew. She said lot of Villagers stop at that motel.

The Developer was able to get a zip code for The Villages but was never able to get a post office. Consequently, zip code 32162 is processed through the Lady Lake post office along with zip code 32159.
