George - is that you?

Addresses in The Villages that are in Marion County are 4 digit numbers then 3 digit numbers then street address. Example 8888 S.E. 266th Grand Ave. (all made up for this example) Try writing that on forms that need to be filled out or on an envelope.

Nah, he’s right.
I want to know more about this Hokey Pokey thing.:wave:

Not for new neighborhoods - that is from when rural addreses needed to be converted

Did you know that "2nd" is a most common street name than "1st". The reason is because "1st" street usually becomes "Main" street. I learned that from Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. I think that is the only thing I learned from that show.

Minneapolis is like that
 

Minneapolis is exactly like that, including N-S streets numbered and E-W streets named as Avenues. As a bonus, Avenue named are grouped (like famous military names, trees, flowers, etc). You know 5805 York Ave South is 58 blocks South from city center, and in the military group. If they hadn’t dropped 1000 lakes inside the city, it’d be a piece of cake to get around.

I think some streets were in place before the villages bought the land and the addresses are converted to city of "the villages" so that's why they may have to use a specific range of numbers?

Our previous home, they came up with a policy that if your home was an even number you could only water your lawn on even days. Our home had two different addresses old system was two digits new system was four-one was even and one was odd. So I could water odd or even. I didn't water much there or here.
All was fine until they did the census. We got the form for our old system and new system. I tried to explain it to the staff. I did it three times. They ended up sending a sweet old lady who told me to forget truth just fill out the second form. So we were counted twice.
