This isn't a street delivery ZIP. Residents in the 27285 zone receive home delivery through the neighboring 27284 ZIP code, which handles carrier routes for the Kernersville area. The arrangement is typical for communities where a central post office provides PO Box services while street addresses fall under a separate ZIP designation.
The facility serves a concentrated area with one documented street segment, W Mountain St, where 122 unit-based addresses receive their mail. Business mail accounts for a significant portion of the traffic here, with 455 business records processed through this location. That mix suggests commercial tenants and small businesses use this post office as their mailing address rather than maintaining separate street-based delivery.
With only W Mountain St documented, this ZIP represents a highly concentrated service area where the post office functions primarily as a PO Box facility rather than supporting extensive street delivery operations.
