Winter Park sits at the base of the Continental Divide in Grand County, Colorado, spanning 79 square miles of mountain territory. This isn't a year-round residential community. It's a ski resort town where seasonal residents and vacation homeowners dramatically outnumber permanent residents. Of 3,536 housing units, 2,348 (66%) are vacant most of the year, used only for seasonal recreation.
The Winter Park post office maintains 1,261 PO Boxes for just 823 households. That's 1.53 boxes per household, and it tells the story of how this community works. Second homeowners keep boxes year-round even when they're only in town for ski season. Rental properties cycle through short-term guests who need temporary mail access. Small businesses serving the resort economy maintain separate boxes. This is a PO Box Only Zone, so there's no alternative for the 79 square miles this office serves.
Street names read like a ski resort map. Iron Horse Way, the most densely developed street with 128 delivery points, connects to the resort's base area. Parsenn Road, Mary Jane Road, and Ski Idlewild Road take their names directly from Winter Park's ski terrain. Wildlife trails dominate the rest: Bear Trail, Elk Trail, Moose Trail, and dozens of variations on mountain, timber, and alpine themes. These are condo developments and vacation subdivisions, most with UNIT designators rather than traditional apartment numbers.
Median home values hit $562,500, and that's for a community where two-thirds of properties sit empty most of the year. Median household income reaches $60,177, but per capita income is $48,681. The population of 1,755 includes just 85 people in group quarters (likely seasonal worker housing). With 160 business establishments employing 3,097 workers, it's clear most employees commute from more affordable areas. Nearly 70% of adults hold bachelor's degrees, and 20% work from home, typical of mountain resort communities that attract remote workers and semi-retired professionals.
The delivery pattern mixes one rural route serving scattered mountain properties with minimal city carrier service. Most of the 106 distinct street names serve vacation properties accessible only part of the year. US Highway 40 runs through the area with 31 delivery points, but the bulk of development clusters around resort access roads. This isn't a town with a main street and neighborhoods. It's a collection of vacation properties organized around ski access.
Street names directly reference Winter Park ski terrain (Parsenn, Mary Jane, Ski Idlewild) alongside wildlife and mountain themes typical of Colorado resort development.
