What is happening to the good old Mail box Why do some Single Family homes not have a mail box?

We are used to seeing mailboxes outside homes in our subdivisions. Town homes and apartment dwellers have been used to the centralized mail box system, however now the mail box is disappearing in single family communities.

USPS is planning to service centralized mailboxes in new communities rather than deliver the mail to a private mailboxes at the bottom of the yard. What does this mean? Some might say inconvenience, others  might not mind, however the cost of delivering mail is high and the cost of servicing centralized mail boxes is considerably less than the cost of delivering to individual homes.

Is the mailbox becoming a thing of the past?

New construction single family homes are being treated the same way as town house condo and apartment communities.

Of course the inconvenience of having to drive somewhere to pick up the mail is inconvenient and annoying for home buyers.  In our area we have some new construction communities with centralized mail boxes and others where the mail box is at the bottom of the driveway. To me it looks like some communities had the mail boxes grandfathered in and others had to build the community according to the new requirements of USPS.

Even in prestige communities like Laureate Park in Lake Nona the mail box is a thing of the past.

What do you think? Is this a deal breaker? Has anyone made the choice of home dependent on the mail box system?

Some recent photos of Laureate Park, Lake Nona

Typical for Laureate Park porches and inviting and striking home designs

Laureate Park

Adjacent to Medical City, Laureate Park has homes which are both of architectural interest as well as "green". These homes go beyond what we are used to here in the Central Florida Real Estate market.

Personally I enjoy the eclectic mix of home designs and architecture. There are bungalows. town homes, large executive garden homes build in what can best be described as a very walkable town like atmosphere.

The homes often have re entry garages creating small patios and yard spaces as well as  porches and balconies and loggias.

The developers have put a lot of emphasis on creating that community feel which has been absent in many communities which are auto centric. Here without focussing on the auto, there is still sufficient parking, walking the dog or riding a bike is something the residents will be very comfortable doing.

There are plenty of trails, gardens and parks through out and around the community. 

Residents are able to access the aquatic center which in addition to the pool for everyone also has a more relaxed and club like adult only pool area.
