This ZIP operates within Fort Lauderdale's Lake Ridge and Central Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, but it doesn't serve the residential addresses in those areas. Those addresses receive mail through the neighboring 33304 ZIP code, which provides standard carrier delivery. The 33338 designation exists purely for PO Box service at one Federal Highway location.
The classification signals suggest military associations, though the current operation appears to be a commercial mail receiving facility. With 119 unit-based delivery records tied to a single street address, this represents a modern mail center model where businesses and individuals rent private mailboxes that receive USPS addressing treatment. The facility handles both the 297 numbered PO Boxes and the 155 business suite designations.
Broward County's postal network uses these specialized ZIPs to manage high-volume mail centers separate from residential delivery zones. The single-location structure allows efficient sorting and 24-hour lobby access that wouldn't work in mixed residential areas. Customers choose these facilities for mail forwarding services, business presence, or secure package receiving that home delivery can't match.
Only one street appears in this ZIP: N Federal Highway. All 119 street delivery records point to units at this single address, confirming the mail center model where one building handles all deliveries through a suite/unit system.
ZIP Code 33338 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 13 business establishments, employing about 23 people with an annual payroll of $2,390,000.
