Kittredge sits in the foothills west of Denver, a small mountain community of 728 residents spread across just 0.67 square miles in Jefferson County. This is a PO Box Only Zone. The post office maintains 425 PO Boxes for 321 households because there's no alternative mail delivery across this mountain terrain.
With a PO Box adoption rate of 1.32, Kittredge's post office serves beyond the immediate community. It handles mail for the Kerr Gulch neighborhood and nearby areas where rural routes can't reach every home. State Highway 74 runs through the area, connecting small roads with names like Myers Gulch Road, Heaven Ridge Road, and Grateful Way.
This isn't a retirement community or resort town. It's a working professional enclave. Median age: 39.9 years. Nearly half the workforce (46.8%) works from home, with per capita income of $115,447. Of adults over 25, 54.9% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. Median home values sit at $385,600, and 77% of households own rather than rent.
Mail delivery uses one rural route (71 records) and one highway contract route (5 records). There are no city carrier routes. The 31 named streets include mountain roads (Russell Gulch Rd), trails (Columbine Trl, Independence Trl), and small subdivision streets. One business has suites on Columbine Trail, but most delivery points are single-family homes.
