About ZIP Code 33687

ZIP 33687 sits within Tampa's broader postal network, but it operates differently than most city addresses. This is a PO Box-only ZIP code serving Temple Terrace and northeast Tampa communities. The 833 PO Boxes handle mail for both residents and the area's 332 businesses, while street addresses in this region receive delivery through neighboring ZIPs like 33617.

The single street route listed (N 56th Street with 160 unit-based addresses) doesn't mean street delivery happens here. These are business addresses that maintain PO Boxes for their mail. The businesses cluster along this commercial corridor while relying on the PO Box system. This setup is common in areas where PO Box service predated suburban expansion, and the postal service never converted the infrastructure to carrier routes.
