About ZIP Code 03815

Center Strafford is a small New Hampshire community where postal service works differently than in town centers. The ZIP code doesn't have city carrier delivery routes. Instead, residents get mail through a single rural route or pick it up from 21 PO Boxes at the post office.

The delivery pattern here is typical for rural New Hampshire hamlets. Seven streets appear in postal records—Austin Cate Drive, Loon Lane, Lake View Drive, Academy Avenue, Mountain View Drive, Payne Road, and Scribner Road—but they're serviced by a rural carrier, not individual mailboxes at each home. That's how small communities often work when they're too spread out for traditional neighborhood mail delivery but have enough residents to justify a dedicated postal facility.
