community mailbox

Neighborhood letter hub

A community mailbox is a centralized cluster of locked mailboxes serving multiple households, typically found in suburban neighborhoods, apartment complexes, or rural areas.

Residents retrieve mail using individual keys rather than receiving delivery at their doors.

Common in Canada and increasingly in newer U.S. developments: The postal service installed community mailboxes at the end of our street.
