Funny street names and addresses in the US: weird, cool, real examples

According to Smarty’s latest query of its US address database, there are 1,021,419 unique street names in the United States. And some of them are, well, entertaining (or disturbing).

Here’s a list of some of the wild and entertaining street addresses we could find, one for every letter of the alphabet:

But what makes any address stand out as a crazy address or a cool address? Sometimes it’s the words they use that make these addresses funny. Sometimes we get a weird address when a normal convention, like using whole numbers, is challenged by a fraction. 

…And sometimes, the address just looks like hot garbage, but someone decided to approve it anyway.

Because Smarty is full of a bunch of address nerds, we thought we’d share some of the strangest addresses we’ve encountered and what makes them so uniquely fun.

Here’s a sneak peek of upcoming silliness:

Funny street names and funny addresses

There are funny words out in the world, and even funnier combinations of funny words. We hear these terms everywhere, but in an address?? Yep. Funny road names and funny addresses are here for your perusal.

Funny street names

Some funny street names are just fun to say because of the rhyming or sing-songy nature they possess:

• 4401 Piggly Wiggly Dr Ste 102 North Charleston, SC 29405
• 4756 Dingleberry Rd NE, Iowa City, IA 52240
• 6 Mother Goose Ln, West Harwich, MA 02671

Remember that old song you sang in primary school, “The ants go marching 10 x 10; hurrah, hurrah!”? Well, now we need to come up with a few hundred more verses. According to this address, there might be more than 600 of these little fellas on this funny road name:

604 Ants Hill Rd, Bloomsburg, PA 17815

Also, we don’t know what you’d be sending here, but we’re really hoping it’s water bottles and portable fans:

62 Labor Camp Way, Peru, NY 12972

And don’t forget about this musical-appearing place:

1800 Mel O de Ln, Englewood, FL 34224 (If you read that street name, it sounds like melody)

Funny street names are everywhere, it seems! What funny street names do you know? Feel free to leave a comment on this LinkedIn post with your favorites.

Funny addresses 

How would you like to live at:

3A Hole Spur, Alamo, GA 30411

Careful how you read that out loud around children, people. The story goes that the postmaster renamed the street after a feud with 3 brothers who lived there. Fact or fiction? (Psst, the webinar at the bottom of this page reveals all.)

What about 15560 Wild Ass Times Trl, Santa Margarita, CA 93453, or 16501 S Butte Creek Rd, Molalla, OR 97038, or even 19 Windy Butte Rd, Jefferson City, MT 59638? It’s in the same vein as that other funny address. Everyone loves a good butt joke.

But addresses can be funny in more than just low-hanging fruit ways. Check out these other funny addresses we found.

How many times should we be allowed to put the word “North” into an address anyway… turns out a lot. We’ve pulled multiple offenders here:

• 40800 N Northville Trl, Northville, MI 48168
• 111 North Ave N Wilson, NC 27893
• 817 N North St, Johnson City, TN 37604
• 204 N North St, Benson, NC 27504

This funny address has a street name of Boulevard with no street suffix. Someone thought they were clever here, and they kinda were:

• 1833 Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32206

This one’s a funny address because the avenue name is the name of a state that isn’t the same state where the address is located:

• 560 New Jersey Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This funny street address is just flippin fun to say, especially if you’re a no cap, on fleek bussin’, aura farming gangster:

• 756 Yeetum Pvt Bnd, Gallatin, TN 37066

Weird street names and addresses

While some funny addresses cause us to go “ha!”, many others make some of us a little queasy, irritated, or downright afraid. Here are some funny or weird addresses that might leave you scratching your head more than chuckling.

Repeated-word street names

Hey, monologophobians, don’t move to this weird address:

1485 NW Street St, Wilson, WY 83014

If you’re reading this address as 1485 NW Street Street, Wilson, WY, instead of 1485 NW Street, Saint Wilson, WY, you’d be correct. “Street” is the name of the Street. Some good folks in Wyoming get to live on Street Street. Weird, fun, or both?

Here’s another repetitive-word street name:

56738 Way Way Lane, Warren, OR 97053

The wildest part about this address is that in the name “Way Way” neither of those words is the street type. The street type is actually a lane. Go figure.

Monologophobia? It’s the fear of using a word more than once in a single sentence. Street Street. Way Way. We’re sorry, sorry.

Direction-heavy addresses

You kenophobians with a fear of open spaces, DON’T READ THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:

102 W E St, Elkton, VA 22827

You read it, didn’t you?

You really, really want to remove the spaces between the “W,” “E,” and “ST,” don’t you? We all do. But this address is really 102 West “E” Street. Note that “W E ST” is the preferred way of writing the address as it follows normalization requirements according to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Addressing Standards.

Here’s another directionally complicated address that’s still valid:

263W W 19th St # APT3NW, New York, NY 10011

How many “Wests” are in there? Too many, if you ask us. How does one even read this address out loud? We’re especially confused about the apartment number, but we’ll let you take a stab at it on your own. Let us know if you figure it out. 

Also, there’s this one. It’s just… overly long if you ask us:
300 Bloomingburg New Holland Rd NW Washington Court House, OH 43160

Numeric and fractional addresses

Since we’re on a roll here with phobias, let’s not forget our friends, the Oudenophobians, who have a fear of the number 0:

2351 County Road 0000 N, Yale, IL 62481

Really? Yep, there must be all 4 zeros in the address, not just 1. Why? It’s one of many address mysteries.

And how many numbers can you stuff into an address? Apparently a lot:
0 Bldg M6-0399 Rm 1546J, Orlando, FL 32815

Also, don’t sleep on the fractional addresses we’ve compiled. There are literally thousands of these bad boys, but we hope you're satiated with this handful of fractional addresses:

• 1620 1/2 29 1/2 St, Rock Island, IL 61201
• 647 26 1/2 27th St, New Auburn, WI 54757
• 3222 1/2 D 7/8 Rd, Clifton, CO 81520
• 6.3 Washington Ave Apt 36, Nyack, NY 10960 (Don’t come at us for this one. A decimal is an implied fraction, ok?)

And finally, the winner of fractional addresses: 
12633 2/9 Memorial Dr, Houston, TX 77024

Say it with me: One two six three three and two ninths Memorial Drive, Houston, Texas seven seven zero two four.

Wow.

By the way, there are also:

• 12633
• 12633 1/2
• And 12633 1/5

What kind of Harry Potter Voodoo is this? I guess when you subdivide your property and fifths isn't enough, the next most obvious choice is ninths.

Cool, clever, and crazy street names

Cool addresses. Clever addresses. Crazy street names for days. We’ve got even more address lists for you to check out. While we’re no Fanny Hands Lane, Crotch Crescent, or Slag Lane like in Europe, US addresses still create some pretty crazy names.

Cool street names

One thing that a lot of cool street names do is use multiple cardinal directions at once. Take a look at this address:

10410 W Main Rd, North East, PA 16428

All we need is a South in there, and EVERY direction would be covered. Wait. We have one of those, too, where 4 cardinal directions are in one direction-heavy address:

2150 Northwest Pkwy SE Ste S, Marietta, GA 30067

You might call that the holy grail of strange addresses, but look at all these other weirdly cool street names we found:

• 128 E S W Dr, Forest City, NC 28043
• 1 North St SE, Saint Albans, WV 25177
• 3072 E Fairway Cir SW, Supply, NC 28462
• 400 Interstate N Pkwy West SE Ste 950, Atlanta, GA 30339
• 241 NW East South Dr, Mayo, FL 32066
• 1269 Westview Cir SE, North Canyon, OH 44720
• 9451 S Westwood Rd Ne, Mancelona, MI 49659

There are also cool street names… like, the word “cool” or a synonym of “cool” is in their name:

• 8845 Cool Street, Weedsport, NY 13166
• 27458 Cool Water Ranch Road, Valley Center, CA 92082
• 132 Rad Street, Lillington, NC 27546
• 5219 East Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55804

Clever street names

Sometimes, someone is just clever. Whoever came up with this stuff, just pat yourself on the back for us, will ya? This is for people who like a play on words like Psycho Path or Kangaroo Court:

• 194 Divorce Court, Pittston, PA 18640
• 133808 Unknown, Coeur D Alene, ID 83814
• 408 Smart Address Memphis, TN 38120
• 1044 No Way Lane, Stevensville, MT 59870
• 174 Hero Street  Silvis IL 61282 
• 1237 Booger Hollow Road, Blairsville, GA 30512 
• 1196 Haviture Way, Eagle Mountain, UT 84005 (Have it your way? Cute.)

Crazy street names

These are crazy street names that make us go… You guys okay over there? Can we send you a care package? This is really on a street sign? Someone must’ve been on something while coming up with these crazy street names, let alone approving them:

• 91 Pennsyvania Avenue Apt 3 Worcester, MA 01604 (It’s every spelling champion’s worst nightmare. That’s right. Pennsylvania… but without the L.)
• 1301 Pike Road, Pike Road, AL 36064 (Yup! Pike Road is both the street name and the street type. What is happening?!)
• 163 Shades of Death Road, Great Meadows, NJ 07838 (You good, buddy?)
• 205 Bucket of Blood Street, Holbrook, AZ 86025 (Maybe they’re friends with the previous guy…)
• 2752 Dutch Oven Avenue NW, Salem, OR 97304 (You just know this was a dude.)

Christmas street names

Get Christmas cheer year-round. Just move to any of the 8,973 addresses in the United States with “Christmas” in the name. Christmas street names or even Christmas-themed street names are more common than you’d expect. 

Here are a few examples:

• 3 Santa Circle, Johnston, RI 02919
• 998 Copperhead Lane, Santa ID 83866
• 101 Santa Claus Lane North Pole, AK 99705
• 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888
• 21402 Reindeer Road, Christmas, FL 32709

Recognize that last one? It’s the official address of Operation Santa by the USPS. Kids write letters to Santa and send them to the address, which is actually in Washington, DC. (Shhh, our little secret.) You adopt a letter and help a holiday wish come true. Warning - you might get joy from participating. We hope you will.

Halloween street names

Speaking of holidays, let’s not forget about our Halloween-themed street names. Some street names use the word “Halloween,” while others just tip their hat to something wicked. These can be kind of spooky, so maybe grab a cuddle buddy before reading through these Halloween street names. We won’t think you’re a psycho path for doing so:

• 58 Halloween Way, Georgetown, SC 29440
• 7618 W Skeleton Road, Waukomis, OK 73773
• 52 Ghost Rider Road, Waterloo, SC 29384
• 3680 N Black Cat Road, Meridian, ID 83646

If you need even more Halloween street names or interesting addresses from somewhere creepy, Smarty’s got you covered.  

Crazy and extreme address formats

Is ‘crazy” now en vogue? Curb your enthusiasm because in the case of this address? No:

2181 29 ½ 29 ⅞ Ave, Birchwood, WI 54817

This street address reads 2181 twenty-nine and one half, twenty-nine and seven eighths avenue. “So awesome!” said no one ever who lived there. It’s not exactly pretty. Fractional numbering with long number sequences in an address is… a choice.

Take a look at this one, too:

A5.5 Bo Playita, Salinas, PR 00751

What is this weird address with a letter and a decimal point as a premise number? 

We think it’s pretty wild.

Let’s not forget about this crazy address: 2831 2nd Street Pl NW, Hickory, NC 28601. I guess having only one street suffix is for chumps. This one has 3: street, pike, and Northwest.

You know what’s crazier than all of these addresses combined? Smarty’s ludicrously fast, best-in-industry address validation processing speeds. We have plans that validate 25,000 addresses per second in the cloud. Need faster? We’ve got you. Really. And that’s not even the craziest part: there’s no funny street address or weird address formatting that Smarty can’t handle in the US or internationally.

How Smarty handles unusual but real addresses

We handle all of our addresses, whether they contain funny street names or complicated fractional formatting, essentially the same way: with great accuracy, care, and standardization. 

Smarty’s tools are built to handle even the most difficult addresses.

• US Address Autocomplete and International Address Autocomplete will still suggest only valid addresses after the first keystroke is typed, even if it’s a fractional address. 
• US Address Verification and International Address Verification will standardize any address, even if the local postal formatting feels foreign. Additionally, these tools will check that the entered addresses actually exist by comparing them against authoritative datasets. That means even if you look at a funny address and think, “This can’t possibly be real,” you’ll know the truth with an invalid or valid result from our API. You also get up to 55 points of metadata surrounding the address to help you get the full picture of these crazy addresses.
• US Rooftop Geocoding, US Reverse Geocoding, and International Geocoding give you the latitude and longitude for even the craziest addresses, so you know that even if the address looks a mess, it’s standardized, accurate, and you have the geographical location. 
• US Property Data provides up to 350 details surrounding these weird and funny addresses, so you can know just how weird they are. Does the crazy address also have a crazy metal roof? Is it on the top of a massive hill in the middle of the parcel, like a castle? Do they have a breakfast nook for eating second breakfast? You can get the answer by using this product.

Funny street names FAQs

Why do weird street names exist?

Well, local governments are typically the ones to name streets, though developers can suggest names. This is mostly because street names need to be unique to assist with 9-1-1 routing. Because weird road names or crazy street names often are unique, they can easily be approved if there isn’t a die-hard, buttoned-up, black socks member on the board. Plus, humans are weird.

What is the strangest street name in the US?

This feels like a personal question that depends on your flavor of “strange,” but some of Smarty’s favorites are:

• Accurate Court - Sunrise Beach, Montana
• Best Friend Road - Gwinnett Village, Georgia
• Farfrompoopen Road - Montgomery County, Arkansas
• Goober Drive - Jumping Branch, Wyoming
• Hogwarts Drive - Township, Michigan
• Liquid Laughter Lane - Columbia, Maryland
• Memory Lane - Jacksonville, Florida
• Nerdy Avenue - San Jose, California
• Perfect Drive - Durrant, Oklahoma
• Uptha Road - Saint Cloud, Florida
• West Happiness Trail - Midvale, Utah
• Yellowsnow Road - Goldstream, Arkansas
• Zzyzx Road - Baker, California

How do you standardize weird addresses?

The same way we standardize all weird addresses, by checking the authoritative databases to :

• Correct misspellings
• Use locally accepted abbreviations
• Adjust formatting issues for the specific region requirements

Can address validation handle unusual formats?
