Mailboxes aren't that far away and besides, lots of people take walks and the walk to the mail station is usually a nice one. No steep slopes to worry about and honestly, with all the UPS and FedEx trucks that are busy driving around the community, and landscaper trucks as well as tradesmens' trucks around, it wouldn't be easy for the postal truck to navigate streets within each village.

Oh, and in the winter, close to Christmas, the UPS drivers just drive a golf cart with a small open trailer around our neighborhood making deliveries....kind of cool... The Villages Florida
Great photo.......it looks lovely. Flat terrain would be welcomed after all these hills. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
