Boissevain's post office serves 158 residents through 82 PO Boxes, making it one of Virginia's smallest postal communities. The ZIP code operates as PO Box only, with no street delivery infrastructure. That doesn't mean residents lack alternatives—the neighboring 24605 ZIP code provides street delivery to the broader area.
The post office maintains just one street route serving Creekview Road, where a handful of homes receive mail delivery. With 72 occupied households locally, the PO Box adoption rate of 1.14 suggests the post office also serves a few customers from surrounding unincorporated areas. Most of Boissevain's 2.35 square miles consists of residential properties, with median household income at $24,375 and median home values around $39,300.
With only Creekview Road in the postal records, this ZIP code has minimal street delivery infrastructure. The single street name reflects a very small residential community where PO Boxes handle most mail delivery needs.
