This is a PO Box-only ZIP. There are no street delivery routes, no carrier routes, and no physical addresses within 88578 itself. That doesn't mean the surrounding area lacks street delivery. The enclosing ZIP code, 79910, provides standard carrier service to nearby neighborhoods. But 88578 exists specifically for customers who need or want a PO Box in El Paso.
The facility opened before October 2004, based on USPS records. It operates under a P classification, meaning it only contains PO Box delivery points. This isn't unusual along the border. Many people maintain PO Boxes here because it offers reliable, secure mail service that works regardless of where they actually live or do business.
Nearby neighborhoods like Cielo Vista North, Cielo Vista East, and Cielo Vista South sit within a mile of this location. These are established residential areas in east El Paso. The post office serves as a mail hub for residents across this part of the city, particularly those who need consistent delivery for business, legal documents, or packages that require secure receipt.
The border context shapes how people use this facility. Cross-border workers, businesses with operations in both countries, and residents of Ciudad Juárez who maintain U.S. addresses all contribute to demand for PO Boxes here. This pattern is common in border cities where a single post office can serve a much larger population than local housing counts would suggest.
No street delivery infrastructure exists within this ZIP code. All mail service is provided through PO Boxes at the post office facility.
