Postal Service Overview

ZIP code 33303 appears to be a specialized postal designation in Fort Lauderdale, despite its military classification signal from the "FORT" prefix. The ZIP doesn't function as a traditional military installation address. Instead, it serves E Las Olas Blvd with 128 PO Boxes and 127 business locations, all concentrated on a single street route.

Commercial Corridor Designation

This is one of Florida's unusual PO Box ZIPs where the designation reflects a single commercial corridor rather than a residential community. E Las Olas Blvd functions as the sole delivery address, with 62 street records serving primarily business suites and units. The post office maintains equal numbers of PO Box customers (128 boxes) and business addresses (127 locations), suggesting a commercial district where businesses use both physical addresses and PO Box service.

Geographic Context

The ZIP code contains no land or water area in official measurements, and population registers as zero. That's because 33303 is nested entirely within the larger 33301 ZIP code boundary. It operates as a postal facility providing PO Box service for the surrounding Fort Lauderdale downtown area rather than covering its own geographic territory.

Neighborhood Location

Residents and businesses with 33303 addresses are in the Colee Hammock and East Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods. The single street route serves Las Olas Boulevard, a well-known commercial corridor in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Despite the military entity classification, there's no evidence this ZIP serves any military facility. The classification likely stems from automated detection of the "FORT" in Fort Lauderdale rather than actual military presence.
