Sunny Side is a tiny unincorporated community in Spalding County, Georgia, about 35 miles south of Atlanta. Just 25 people live here in 7 households. The ZIP code is a point location nested within the larger 30228 (Hampton) ZIP code rather than having its own territory.
Despite its small size, the Sunny Side post office maintains 326 PO Boxes and serves 133 businesses. That's 46 times more PO Boxes than households. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery for addresses using this ZIP code. The post office on North Expressway functions as a regional mail hub for surrounding subdivisions and businesses that don't have their own delivery routes.
Nearby subdivisions like Ashwood Trace, Hillview Estates, Hampton Brook, and Hampton Place sit less than a mile away. These Atlanta metro communities rely on the Sunny Side post office for PO Box service even though they're technically within the 30228 delivery area. The 133 business delivery points suggest commercial activity along the North Expressway corridor that uses this ZIP for mailing purposes.
The resident population skews older with a median age of 51.3 years. All 7 occupied housing units are owner-occupied except one rental. The community has existed since at least 2004, when USPS tracking began, though its origins likely go back further. For such a small place, Sunny Side punches well above its weight as a postal service center for the southern Atlanta suburbs.
North Expressway is the only street address in this ZIP, indicating the post office location on a major highway.
