I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

    In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along.

    Yes, this is a thing, but not always.

    In my own subdivision all the residential streets start with the same letter, and the housing numbers are in the hundreds (300, 400, 500, etc.), even though the streets are short. None of them start at 1, or even 10, or even 100! … there’s no rhyme or reason, but it does cause confusion when you have several “630” house numbers all in the same area but on different streets that are slightly different.

      In my town the numbers jump by random amounts by house. I’m 570, my neighbor to the right is 574 the neighbor to the left is 590. There’s about 6’ between houses.
