Skytop Lodge defines this tiny Pocono Mountains enclave. The entire ZIP code covers just 0.16 square miles, essentially the footprint of the historic resort and its immediate surroundings. With 122 housing units but only 49 occupied year-round, 57% of properties here serve as vacation or seasonal homes.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. No alternative mail delivery exists. The post office maintains 64 PO Boxes for a population of 120 residents, giving it an adoption rate of 1.3 boxes per household. That figure makes sense when you consider second-home owners need mail access even when they're not in residence.
The demographics point to a retreat community. Median age sits at 53.6 years. Only 3 residents are under 18. Over half (51.9%) of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher. The ZIP+4 data includes just two street names: Skytop Ldg and Dutch Hill Rd. Named buildings in the postal records are limited to Skytop Lodge itself and the postmaster's facility.
Two rural delivery routes extend service to the surrounding area, but if you live within 18357, a PO Box at Skytop isn't optional. It's your only connection to the mail system.
Street names reflect the resort's dominance: Skytop Ldg serves the lodge property while Dutch Hill Rd provides rural access.
