Fawnskin sits on the north shore of Big Bear Lake in California's San Bernardino Mountains, 33.7 square miles of forested mountain terrain at 6,800 feet elevation. This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the entire territory. The 466 PO Boxes serve 253 year-round households plus hundreds of seasonal homeowners who return to their cabins throughout the year.
With 687 of 1,014 homes (68%) vacant except for seasonal use, Fawnskin transforms dramatically between quiet winters and busy summers. Median age is 60.4 years. Year-round residents skew older, with retirees and semi-retired professionals who've chosen mountain living. The population of 510 represents those who stay through winter, not the summer crowds.
Street names tell two stories. Native American references (Navajo St, Comanche Rd, Hopi Ln, Cherokee St) mix with nature names (Deer Trl, Bruin Trl, Raccoon Dr). N Shore Dr carries the most delivery points (15 records), following the lakefront. Rim of the World Dr connects to the famous scenic highway circling Big Bear Lake. These aren't suburban streets with daily mail trucks. They're mountain roads where one rural carrier handles most deliveries.
The post office maintains both PO Box service and limited street delivery through one rural route and one city route serving 82 delivery points. But with 1.84 PO Boxes per household, it's clear most residents and seasonal owners rely on boxes. Remote cabins, unpredictable winter access, and the transient nature of vacation ownership make PO Boxes the practical choice.
Median home value is $400,000, typical for Big Bear area mountain properties. This isn't a traditional town with a commercial center. It's a scattered collection of cabins, vacation homes, and year-round residences spread across mountain slopes and lakefront parcels. The 12 business establishments employ 54 people, mostly seasonal tourism services.
With 29% of workers working from home, Fawnskin attracts remote workers who can live anywhere and choose mountain beauty. The year-round population of 510 lives in just 253 occupied homes (2.0 people per household), mostly couples and individuals rather than families with children.
All mail should be addressed to PO Box numbers in Fawnskin, CA 92333. Street addresses exist for some properties but aren't reliable for mail delivery given seasonal access and mountain conditions.
Street names blend Native American references with mountain nature themes, while N Shore Dr and Rim of the World Dr mark key lakefront and scenic routes.
ZIP Code 92333 has 510 residents and 253 households (average 2.02 persons per household).

Largest groups are White (79.0%, much higher than the state average of 41.2% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (14.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 14.1%, which is much lower than the state average (39.4%).
