A High Desert Retirement Community

Seligman sits along historic Route 66 in northern Arizona, 1,427 square miles of high desert country where retirement meets frontier nostalgia. With a median age of 58.4 years, this is Arizona retirement living at its most rugged. The population of 1,312 spreads across Yavapai County plateau land, where winter temperatures drop below freezing and summer brings relief from Phoenix heat.

Why PO Boxes Are Essential

This is a PO Box Only Zone. No street delivery exists across the entire 1,427 square mile territory. The post office maintains 1,106 PO Boxes for 632 occupied homes, an adoption rate of 1.75x that extends service far beyond the town limits. Ranchers, off-grid homesteaders, and seasonal residents from across the vast service area drive to Seligman to collect their mail. Rural route delivery serves some outlying properties, but most residents rely entirely on PO Boxes.

Route 66 Character

Route 66 defines the town's identity. W Old Highway 66 has the most delivery points (14 records), a reminder of when this was a vital stop on America's Mother Road. Streets like Railroad Ave and I-40 Business Loop trace the town's evolution from railroad depot to highway town to Interstate-bypassed relic. The northern territory includes ranch roads like Anvil Rock Rd, Fort Rock Rd, and Bridge Canyon Pkwy, named for the dramatic geology of the Arizona Strip country.

Seasonal and Retirement Housing

Nearly half the housing stock (47%) sits vacant or used seasonally. Of 1,201 total housing units, 349 are seasonal properties. This isn't Scottsdale. Median home values run $133,200, attracting retirees and second-home buyers seeking authentic Old West character without resort prices. Mobile homes account for 465 units, practical shelter in a climate that swings from single digits in January to the 90s in July.

Economic Profile

The economy runs on remote work (28% work from home), government jobs (244 workers), and serving the trickle of Route 66 tourists. With just 29 business establishments employing 286 people, Seligman doesn't offer much local employment. Median household income of $48,534 reflects Social Security, pensions, and remote workers who traded Phoenix traffic for high desert solitude. The nearest substantial town is Kingman, 42 miles west on I-40.

Mailing to Seligman

PO Box addressing is required for most mail. The format is:

PO Box [number]

Rural route delivery serves some outlying addresses, but confirm delivery availability before using street addresses.
