Lake Pleasant is a small Massachusetts community where 204 residents live along the eastern edge of Franklin County. The ZIP code covers just 0.09 square miles, making it one of the state's most compact postal areas. With 74 occupied households, this isn't a typical New England village. It's a tight-knit settlement where 88 PO Boxes serve both residents and seasonal visitors to the Lake Pleasant area.
The post office maintains a PO Box adoption rate of 1.19, meaning boxes serve customers beyond the immediate town boundaries. While Lake Pleasant has some street delivery on roads like Montague Avenue and Adams Street, many residents use the post office as their primary mailing address. Rural routes deliver to 20 addresses, while city routes cover just 2 delivery points. This mixed delivery pattern reflects the area's transition between rural Franklin County and more developed parts of Massachusetts, where households maintain PO Boxes for convenience even when street delivery exists.
Lake Pleasant's street names combine New England numbered grid patterns (1st Avenue, 7th Avenue, 8th Avenue, Ninth Avenue) with historic references like Massasoit Street and geographic markers like Lake Pleasant Road. The presence of Montague Avenue with the most delivery points connects this small community to neighboring Montague. The mix of avenues, named streets, and simple roads like Broadway reflects the area's development as a compact lakeside settlement.
