Mailing Address within The Villages

[Michael 61]

Newbie hopefully moving soon to TV. I see that lots of TV is within the city limits of adjacent cities. For mailing purposes if you are within the city limits of Wildwood, Lady Lake, or other cities, do you use that city as your mailing address, or The Villages when you receive mail?

We live in Sumter county and use The Villages 32162

What is your zip code? I believe zip codes have a recommended city attached to them (https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?citybyzipcode). For example, the recommended city for 32162 is The Villages though Lady Lake is also acceptable.

Good ? and I bet there is not a real good answer. We live in the 32159 postal area and when most computers and the USPS see this they load in Lady Lake automatically and we do live in TV. Both Lady Lake and TV will work. I use Lady Lake. Less lettters to type.

Either one works

The Villages… and if you are new make sure you check that zip code is correct every time you order something or giving out new address…this is an issue in the beginning of many new Villagers.. because someone goggles your address it will come up as a town.. like Lady Lake and a different zip code.

If you are coming to the area near Sawgrass Grove, we use TV, 32163 for mail, and we sometimes use Wildwood for GPS..

I hope I'm not missing any junk mail because of this.

To my knowledge The Villages being so large is the only privately owned community that the U. S. Postal Service officially recognizes for your address. When I moved here I noticed that all my paperwork for my closing and warranty said The Villages, Florida 32163. I’m sure if I put Wildwood, Florida it would probably work. I was actually told from the postal person at my mailbox that putting The Villages makes it easier and quicker to deliver as the post office has a section just for The Villages for sorting by Zip code.

Ditto

We live in The Villages in unincorporated Sumter Country, 32162. Our mail actually comes through the Lady Lake Post Office since The Villages doesn't have its own post office. And if the sender happens to use Lady Lake, 32162, we will still get it.

The Villages, FL

[GoneFishing]

I use The Villages, 32163.
Same here.

When you finally purchase, you will get an address that the Postal Service will have with your name

[rogerk]

Use The Villages and the appropriate Zip Code. Do NOT use Wildwood or Fruitland Park, etc. It will delay your mail. ALL THE MAIL for The Villages is handled by the Lady Lake post office.

GPS is different but in time the GPS systems will eventually recognize your address as the Villages, meanwhile it might help to use Wildwood if your location is south of US 44.

New construction home addresses I’ve used the city and also The Villages. Depends what your business can find located in their computer . Some can’t find addresses using TV and done can . I heard may take many months for new construction homes address city to work “ everywhere” .
But, welcome to TV you will absolutely love it here after you unpack !
