How High Do The Numbered Streets In Your City Go?

[BigMattFromTexas]

San Angelo gets up to 49th St
And i was thinking of how crazy NYC gets up to 263rd St pretty high huh
Yalls cities/towns?

[corco]

McCall, ID- 4th St
Laramie WY- 30th St

[Chris]

Los Angeles also goes up to 263rd Street, but that's in Lomita actually.

SE 502nd Ave in metro Portland (beyond Sandy, Oregon, somewhere near US 26 in Clackamas County). High 300's/low 400's, IIRC, on the west end near Forest Grove.

The address grid itself, however, continues further east than 502nd. Along US 26 in Welches, on the base of Mt Hood, the addresses are up to 656xx; they theorectically go higher into Zigzag and Rhododendron, but the buildings aren't on necessarily on US 26 itself.

Along I-84/US 30, addresses are at the 625xx-650xx blocks in Dodson, beyond Multnomah Falls. The uppermost extremes are near Bonneville Dam at the 725xx range, just before the Multnomah/Hood River County Line.

And north, along US 30, the Portland address/block numbers go into the 500xx's through Scappoose and the southern end of St. Helens.

King County, WA, does have a 725th Ave (or something that high), along US 2.

there are six-digit street addresses in the extremities of San Bernardino County.  Since it is the biggest county in the US, I can imagine it overflowing to six digits in its extremities.  I am thinking of a number like 106xxx as a house number - remind me to find the photo that has the exact number!

Iowa's rural roads go up to 614th street, but are numbered by a statewide grid, it seems.

[74/171FAN]

VA Beach, VA goes to 89th St
Myrtle Beach, SC goes to 82nd Ave N

[algorerhythms]

180th Ave. East and 72nd Ave. West, according to Google Maps. There would be a 192nd Ave. East at the county line, but according to Google Maps, it's called "County Line Rd."

[njroadhorse]

New York hits 263rd Street in the far northern reaches of the Bronx.

[Crewdawg]

Metro Phoenix gos to 579th ave in the west and 142nd st in the east.

[jdb1234]

Birmingham goes up to 96th Street N

[Hellfighter]

37 Mile Road for the Detroit Area.

What about the Salt Lake City metro area? I have no clue what it goes up to, but it must be pretty high considering its done in multiples of 100.

[UptownRoadGeek]

In New Orleans itself, I think 9th St is the highest numbered street.  In the suburbs it goes as high as 45th in the eastbank suburbs and 37th in the westbank suburbs. The suburbs on the westbank also has Avenue A-Avenue M with letters going east to west and numbers going north to south.

In Amsterdam, New York, we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets in one part of town, and a 5th and 6th Avenue in another.  Maybe we qualify for the smallest number of streets that someone decided needed to have numbers instead of names.

[mightyace]

In my hometown of Bloomsburg, PA, it just goes up to 13th St.

Nashville, TN apparently tops out at 63rd Ave. N

Franklin, TN maxes out at 11th Ave N/S

Columbia, TN goes up to 18th St. and 6th Ave. - The funny thing here is both those Streets and Avenues go East-West. 

They're just in different parts of town.

I just checked..

W 15250 S in the suburb of Bluffdale.

[Bryant5493]

The highest numbered street in the City of Atlanta is, I think, 28th Street NW, which is right off of Peachtree Road NW (U.S. 19/S.R. 9).


Be well,

That would be roughly 152nd then.

In Amsterdam, New York, we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets in one part of town, and a 5th and 6th Avenue in another.  Maybe we qualify for the smallest number of streets that someone decided needed to have numbers instead of names.

You're wrong, unfortunately.  Middleville, Michigan has a First, Second, Third, and Sixth.  And there's absolutely no pattern to how they're numbered!  First is a north-south street, Second and Third are short east-west streets that intersect First, and Sixth is a north-south cul-de-sac.  I want to know what the planners were thinking.

Even more wrong than I thought - I completely forgot about a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Ave in yet another Amsterdam neighborhood.  Which also explains why the two on the other end of town are 5th and 6th.

And at least ours are numbered consecutively where they exist..

Springfield, Missouri has to my knowledge exactly one numbered street: East 11th.

New York hits 263rd Street in the far northern reaches of the Bronx.

And while that is the northern extremity of the Manhattan/Bronx numbering scheme (highest avenue = 12th Av), other boroughs have their own schemes:

Queens main scheme: numbers increase north to south and west to east. The eastern extreme is 271st St (greater than 263rd by 8). The southern extreme is 165th Av.
Queens Rockaway scheme: numbers increase east to west. The western extreme is Beach 222nd St.
Queens cross bay scheme: cross streets in Broad Channel are numbered up to (West) 22nd Rd. There's also a 208th Av hanging down there anomalously (this is the highest numbered "Avenue" in New York City)
Brooklyn Main scheme: numbers increase north to south and west to east. The eastern extreme is 24th Av. The southern extreme is 101st St.
Brooklyn "Bay" scheme: streets perpendicular to the shore in Bath Beach and Bensonhurst are numbered from northwest to southeast up to Bay 56th St
Brooklyn Brighton Scheme: some streets in Brighton Beach are numbered west to east up to Brighton 15th St.
Brooklyn South Scheme:This is a complicated one. Running N/S in the middle, you have West St. West from there, streets are numbered up to West 37th St, and beyond that, Beach 37th through 49th Streets creep up around the western head of Coney Island. East of West St, streets are numbered up to East 108th St. Running E/W, you have letters instead of numbers... Avenues A through Z... except that Avenues A, B, D, E, F, G, and Q are instead named (Respectively) Albermarle Rd, Beverley Rd, Ditmas Av, Foster Av, Farragut Rd, Glenwood Rd, and Quentin Rd. Each matches its letter except Forster for E.
Also, the main place where you'd expect Avenue C is occupied by Clarendon Rd... but there is an Avenue C west of there, so it's not absent.
Brooklyn Williamsburg scheme: Centered at Grand St, streets go north from there up to North 15th St and south from there up to South 11th St.
Staten Island Scheme: streets in New Dorp are numbered from northwest to southeast up to 10th St, but otherwise that's it.

A few additional notes about the Bronx:
- No numbered avenues here, but "Third" Av is a continuation of 3rd Av in Manhattan, and Park Av is a continuation of... get this... Park Av.
- Jerome Av takes over the role of 5th Av as the disiving line between east and west. Many non-numbered streets which cross it also get divided as such. This also creates the interesting situation with Gun Hill Rd and Tremont Av (which stretch across the entire borough) where the west runs for only 6-12 blocks but the east stretches for several miles.
- The scheme east of the Harlem River starts to lag behind the Manhattan Scheme. As a consequence, the highest numbered street is West 263rd St, but East 243rd St is as far up as the east streets go.
- the numbered streets typically stick to the western half or the borough, but tucked way over in a corner Pelham Bay are two blocks of E 194th St and a single block of E 195th, East 196th, and East 197th Streets. Just 'cause.



As for my other Hometown, Stamford, CT.... there are no numbered streets per se, but there are First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Streets.

Eugene, Oregon stops at 53rd Avenue in the South Hills area.

My original hometown of Forest Grove, OR has a really anomalous numbering system--it goes up to about 37th or 38th (they've just added some in a new subdivision on the north end of town).  However, the actual lowest street number is 9th.  Originally, Pacific Avenue (OR-8, the main east-west drag) used to split the numbered streets into a hemisphere system.  North 1st was one block north, South 1st was one block south--used to be on the sidewalks before they replaced them.

For some odd reason--I'm not sure when they did it--they changed the block numbering system such that the intersection of Main Street and Pacific Avenue was the 2000 block for both streets, and as result, North 1st became 21st and South 1st became 19th.  They must have thought they were going to expand to the south, which was clearly a foolish assumption, as it's basically all wetlands and flood plain down there.  Also, stupidly, they made the numbers go down toward the west, and all the development in town has been on the northwest side, whereas if they were to go to the east, they'd have to annex Cornelius.

SE 502nd Ave in metro Portland (beyond Sandy, Oregon, somewhere near US 26 in Clackamas County). High 300's/low 400's, IIRC, on the west end near Forest Grove.

The highest I recall seeing out here was around 389th or so.  Most of the really high-numbered streets on the west side are basically glorified gravel driveways.  The highest "legitimate" street I'm aware of is SW 345th Avenue, which is just east of the Cornelius City Limits.  North Plains converted to the Portland numbering system sometime in the 1990s, so you've got a bunch of streets in the 310s and 320s downtown.

The numbering grid gets a bit messed up in the Hillsboro area, as Hillsboro has its own numbering system that also runs north-south like Portland's--i.e. SE 63rd is one block west of SW 231st.

If Forest Grove were Beaverton, they'd probably try to do that...

Both Gresham and Hillsboro overlay their own grid/address system over the Portland Metro system, making for some interesting prefix jumps (SE Division to NW Division to NE Division back to SE Division, for example).

Interestingly enough, while everyone is familiar with the five Portland grid divisions (N, NW, SW, SE, NE), based off of the Willamette River, Burnside St (and Stark west of Burnside ending at Barnes) and Williams Ave, there is a sixth, bounded by the Clackamas River: S. This applies mainly to the area east and south of Oregon City (which has its own grid).
