Key Facts

  • The post office is enclosed within ZIP 79910, which provides street delivery to the surrounding Cielo Vista area.
  • All three ZIP+4 records are designated for PO Box delivery (route type B), with no street carrier routes in this designation.
  • Three nearby neighborhoods (Cielo Vista North, East, and South) are within one mile, all receiving regular street delivery from other ZIPs.
  • The facility was established before October 2004, based on the introduction date in postal records.
  • El Paso County contains this facility, serving the broader border metro area's specialized mailing needs.

Location and Service Area

The post office sits within a coordinate point at 31.795113°N, 106.376935°W, technically enclosed within the much larger 79910 ZIP code that provides street delivery to the surrounding neighborhoods. Three nearby Cielo Vista neighborhoods (North, East, and South) all fall within a mile radius, along with Montclair and Cork communities slightly farther out. Residents in these areas receive street delivery through their residential ZIPs, but some maintain PO Boxes here for business purposes, secure package receipt, or cross-border mailing convenience.

Border Mail Infrastructure

El Paso's position as a major border city creates unique mail service demands that don't fit standard residential patterns. The facility contains only three ZIP+4 records, all designated for PO Box delivery (route type B). No street carrier routes exist within this designation because the surrounding residential areas already receive delivery through neighboring ZIPs. This separation of PO Box services from residential delivery is common in border metro areas where commercial, binational, and specialized mailing needs warrant dedicated facilities.

Understanding the Classification

The data shows zero residential population, zero land area, and zero household count for this ZIP because it's a postal facility designation rather than a geographic community. The classification as a PO Box-only zone doesn't mean residents are forced to use boxes. It means this specific postal facility provides box services to customers who choose them, many of whom live in the adjacent street-delivery ZIPs that cover the actual Cielo Vista neighborhoods where people live and work.

Street Name Patterns

No street delivery exists within this ZIP designation. It's a PO Box facility serving customers who choose box service while living in neighboring street-delivery ZIPs.
