With 1,236 residents across 9.3 square miles, this community serves as a transition zone between the developed Palm Springs area and the rugged desert terrain to the north. The post office has been operating since before October 2004, though the community's origins predate formal ZIP code tracking.

Why PO Boxes Dominate

This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across most of the territory. The North Palm Springs post office maintains 288 PO Boxes for 377 households, giving it a 76% adoption rate. While limited street delivery exists through one rural route and one city route covering 78 addresses, the majority of residents rely on PO Boxes. Mail doesn't reach most homes directly because much of the area developed without formal street addressing infrastructure.
