It’s Fun to Know: A Little-Known Perk for Postal Workers
by ETR (05/13/2008)
There’s a town in Central Florida that’s populated entirely by retired postal workers and their spouses. Nalcrest was founded in 1963 by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), and it’s still run by the union, without government subsidy.
What does it cost to live in Nalcrest? The 500 apartments on the property rent for between $315 and $335 a month. A bargain. So, not surprisingly, there’s a long waiting list. Worth 25 to 30 years of sometimes back-breaking service? Maybe.
