Beverly ZIP Code Coverage
Beverly postal context requires careful labels. USPS location pages use 01915 for both Beverly and Beverly Farms locations, making it the main delivery context. USPS also identifies a Prides Crossing station address with 01965, but the research did not locate an official citywide boundary list for that designation. Treat 01965 as limited or special until USPS confirms a particular address. A reference to 01913 is not a Beverly residential ZIP claim and should not be used as a shortcut for a city address.
| ZIP | Areas Covered | Post Office | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01915 | Beverly main delivery context; Beverly Farms location pages also use it. | Beverly and Beverly Farms USPS locations | Verify the complete address rather than inferring from a city label. |
| 01965 | Prides Crossing postal designation where USPS confirms the address. | Prides Crossing station reference | Limited or special designation, not an established citywide boundary. |
| 01913 | Not supported as a Beverly residential ZIP. | Not a Beverly delivery claim | A mail-processing reference is not residential coverage. |
The table describes official postal context, not a list of homes or people. ZIP use can change with a complete address, and a named neighborhood does not control the USPS result.
Verify a Beverly ZIP Code With USPS
The official USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the address-level check for a Beverly postal search. Use By Address when a street address is known. USPS also offers By City and State and Cities by ZIP modes. If an address is not found, USPS advises trying a different company entry or leaving that optional field out. The returned result validates delivery format and ZIP association. It does not show whether a named person or organization occupies the address.
The USPS interface is the first checkpoint for spelling, suffixes, unit information, preferred city names, and the ZIP associated with a complete address. Record the date because routes and preferred-city conventions can change.
| USPS field | Type | Required | Use or format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Text | Optional | Use only for a public organization’s mailing address when relevant. |
| Street Address | Text | Required | Enter the delivery address. |
| Apt / Suite / Other | Text | Optional | Add the unit detail where applicable. |
| City | Text | Required | Use with Massachusetts in By Address mode. |
| State | Dropdown | Required | Select Massachusetts. |
| ZIP | Text | Optional | Use a known code as a check, not as a substitute for the address. |
Read Beverly 01915 Delivery Context
USPS location pages place the Beverly Post Office at 151 Rantoul Street, Beverly, MA 01915-9998, and the Beverly Farms post office page also uses 01915. That shared postal context matters because Beverly Farms is a well-known local area name, but the postal code should still be checked one complete address at a time. Massachusetts postal material identifies Beverly as the preferred city name for 01915. A preferred city name is a delivery convention, not a parcel boundary or a statement about municipal jurisdiction.
USPS details for the Beverly Post Office show the local service location used for the main 01915 context.
The local office listing gives a Beverly postal service reference, not proof of which delivery code applies to a separate street or unit.
Handle Beverly 01965 Carefully
Prides Crossing is one of Beverly’s recognized planning and community labels, yet its postal use must be handled with more care than a broad neighborhood map. USPS lists an alternate nearby Prides Crossing location at 64 Thissell Street with 01965. The research identifies 01965 as a limited or special postal designation and did not find an official citywide map that assigns it across a whole neighborhood. A postal record should therefore state the uncertainty and ask USPS to confirm the actual mailing address.
USPS details for the Beverly Farms location also provide the nearby service context and identify the Prides Crossing reference.
The Beverly Farms listing supports a local postal reference, while the By Address result remains the authority for the address being checked.
Use Beverly ZIP Codes to Narrow Records
A Beverly ZIP code can narrow an address check, but it is not a general resident filter. Start with USPS, then choose the record system that answers the next question. The Massachusetts Voter Registration Search uses a five-digit ZIP with first name, last name, date-of-birth fields, and an agreement for an individual’s own status. It is not a public ZIP roster. A local voter-file request is subject to statutory withholding, and no dedicated Beverly request form was found in the research.
- Enter the full Beverly address in USPS By Address and retain the normalized delivery result.
- Compare the preferred city name and ZIP with the municipality and any PlanBeverly neighborhood label.
- Use the normalized street address in the assessor, Registry, MapGeo, or permit system that fits the record question.
- Record the source date and keep a ZIP+4 private unless it is necessary for an address-level task.
- Move to the Beverly street directory when the question becomes a parcel, property, or street-history search.
Patriot WebPro is useful for address, owner or name, and parcel or account searches, but the Beverly research did not document a ZIP filter there. Do not describe it as a ZIP-query portal.
Check Beverly ZIP Code Results Against Records
After USPS confirms a delivery form, the street address becomes the reliable join point. MapGeo can locate an address candidate and expose parcel context. The assessor record can provide fiscal-year property data and a property ID. The Southern Essex Registry can connect a Beverly street and primary number to recorded deed or conveyance results, subject to its 1995-forward street-index limit. The Online Permit Center may show public parcel, permit, status, inspection, and history information where its current interface exposes it.
Those systems should not be collapsed into one claim. An assessment mailing address does not prove residence, a map is not a legal boundary, a recorded deed is not a complete title opinion, and a USPS result is not occupancy evidence. Normalize the address, preserve the original source form, and label whether a person was listed in a directory, an assessed owner, a recorded party, or a permit contact.
Note: Use an address and source date to compare Beverly records, because ZIP codes, parcel lines, street names, and local labels do not share one boundary system.
Compare Beverly ZIP Code Boundaries
MassGIS five-digit ZIP Code data gives a generalized spatial view, not a legal map. Its boundaries were aligned to HERE data in Q2 2018, may not align with parcels, and are frequently revised. That means a Beverly ZIP code can cross a city limit, a ward, a neighborhood label, or a property line. Use the layer to understand delivery geography, then confirm the address with USPS and the parcel with the city’s records.
The MassGIS image supports a broad Beverly ZIP code geography check. It should never replace an address-level USPS lookup, a municipal boundary source, or recorded property evidence.
- ZIP code
- A five-digit USPS delivery geography used to route mail, not a municipal boundary.
- ZIP+4
- An added delivery detail USPS may return for a complete address. It is more specific than a five-digit ZIP.
- PO-box ZIP
- A postal code associated with post-office box service. It does not identify a physical residence.
- Unique ZIP
- A code assigned for a specific delivery purpose or organization. It should be confirmed in USPS data before use.
- Carrier route
- A postal delivery sequence or route. It is not a neighborhood or property-line designation.
Use Beverly ZIP Codes as Dated Clues
Postal information is one date-stamped part of a longer address history. Beverly’s historical directories, street lists, maps, newspapers, and Digital Heritage materials can preserve street forms and local names that do not match today’s preferred postal wording. The library’s digitized Beverly City Directory collection covers 1886 to 1985 with gaps. A historical street label or a directory entry may point to the right period, but it does not carry a current ZIP code backward through time.
For a historic address, preserve the source spelling, directory year, map sheet or deed reference, and today’s USPS-normalized form separately. Beverly’s coastal geography, older ties with Salem and Wenham, and changing neighborhood labels make that separation useful. It avoids turning a modern delivery designation into a claim about a past city, parcel, or household.
The same caution applies to a ZIP+4. USPS may return it for a complete address, but it is a delivery detail rather than a permanent identity marker. Keep it only when an address-level postal task clearly needs it, and avoid publishing it with an unrelated historical name. A dated directory or Sanborn map should retain its own street wording, even when the current USPS result uses a different preferred-city form or a revised delivery code.
Keep Beverly ZIP Code Searches Limited
A Beverly postal reference can answer which delivery code USPS associates with a complete address and can help compare that result with local geography. It cannot identify all people in an area, establish who receives mail at a location, prove municipal residence, or settle a legal boundary. The company field in USPS lookup is not a people-search field. Use it only for a public organization’s mailing address when that is the research purpose.
When a record is missing, start with the current official portal, then the agency page, local records officer, Registry, library, or public terminal. A narrowly described Massachusetts public-records request under M.G.L. c.66 §10 and M.G.L. c.4 §7 cl.26 may seek a non-exempt municipal record, with a general response due within 10 business days. Keep protected address information private and use each source only for the relationship it actually documents.
