I can’t imagine what standard that might be when some of the houses are built so close together you couldn’t put up a tent in between them, but their numbers are not only not consecutive but sometimes far apart. The US post seems to have missed the boat here:

“Regardless of method, the key to any housing number system is simplicity and uniformity. That way, visitors and new citizens can easily grasp the city's layout. Additionally, services like mail delivery or food delivery become vastly more efficient when they can plan out their routes.”

Thanks--28 years as a first responder and it is so frustrating to search for unit numbers of properties when they are not uniformly located. Is it on the mailbox, the curb, over the garage, to the left of the front door, etc. Maybe not so much of an issue with our homes being so close together but the numbers are not for the Village mail carriers--they are for the first responders (and maybe guests)...

(In some condos up north they also put unit numbers on the back of the homes over the slider in case emergency entry needs to be made or for LEO response for a break-in to set up a perimeter on target home.)

I like having them uniform...change it up and get creative with the (secondary) lamppost sign...

JMO...

Putting them on both sides of condos and townhomes is also very helpful in one's application for search warrants and to prevent the costly mistake of serving a warrant on the wrong domicile.

I bought a new house in Hillsborough 10 years ago and it had the reflective house numbers on the front window so that is not new. They are still there BTW. To be honest I don't see much difference in the spec homes they build now vs 10 years ago exept the tilt up concrete, which is pretty nice. I don't like how some are so much closer to the road, but that gives more back yard space so oh well. Does it suprise you that with the lovely inflation and high interest rates they may have to cut a few things out to sell houses?

Don't emergency services use GPS? My house is findable that way. Those reflective numbers in the front window are tacky looking. We removed our when we moved in.
