Hunter Army Airfield occupies 5,400 acres in Savannah's Southside area. This isn't a typical neighborhood. It's a U.S. Army installation home to the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade and special operations aviation units.
With 670 people and just 10 housing units, the population density tells the story: 89% of residents live in group quarters. That's barracks housing for soldiers. The median age of 23.3 years and the building names (SOAR Barracks, numbered facilities from BLDG 100 to BLDG 8056) confirm this is an active military community.
Mail delivery follows military installation protocols. The post office maintains 21 PO Boxes and serves 10 business delivery points. Street delivery exists on base, with 366 ZIP+4 records spread across one city carrier route (C001). Mail goes to numbered buildings, barracks, and offices with suite designations.
Street names honor military aviation history: Billy Mitchell Boulevard (31 delivery points), Hickam Boulevard, Flying Fortress Road, Stratofortress Street, and Saber Road. These aren't generic base streets. They reference Air Force pioneers and iconic aircraft, though Hunter AAF is an Army installation focused on helicopter and special operations aviation.
This ZIP serves the Hunter Army Airfield community exclusively. The surrounding Savannah area receives mail through standard ZIP codes (31404, 31406, 31419). The PO Box classification dates to before October 2004, but the base itself has operated since World War II when it served as a training field.
