Nutting Lake is a small lakeside community in Billerica, Massachusetts, about 20 miles northwest of Boston. This isn't a standalone town. It's a neighborhood with its own post office, and ZIP code 01865 exists solely to serve the PO Boxes at that facility. The surrounding area receives street delivery through ZIP 01821 (Billerica), which completely encloses this point-only ZIP.
The Nutting Lake post office maintains 153 PO Boxes for local residents and nearby businesses. Because this is classified as a PO Box Only Zone, there's no carrier delivery within 01865 itself. Mail addressed to street addresses in this area uses Billerica's ZIP code instead. The facility sits on Middlesex Turnpike, a busy commercial corridor that runs through several towns in this part of Middlesex County.
With just 3 businesses and 4 employees recorded locally, Nutting Lake functions as a residential community rather than a commercial center. The post office serves as the neighborhood's connection to the postal system, providing box rental for those who want a local mailing address distinct from Billerica. An alternate spelling, "Nuttings Lake," is recognized by USPS but isn't valid for mailing purposes.
Middlesex Turnpike is the only street in this ZIP, reflecting the post office's location on this major regional roadway.
