Some residents living in the Kimberly Heights subdivision believe they live in a no-man's land.

Some of them have lived there for more than a decade and waited for years for a mailbox. To their dismay, some of the new residents have a curbside mailbox as they continue to walk to their mailbox unit and continue to battle the Postal Service for answers.

Maria Dominguez who lives on Menlo Avenue has taken her concern all the way to Austin, but said no one has address it.

She said she's tired of walking several blocks for her mail.

"I have to walk all the way. I turn right on Pendleton, pass Patricia Avenue, down to Pratt Avenue, left on Pratt pass Lake Champlain Street and there's the mailboxes," said Dominguez.

Dominguez said first the residents were told they needed streets before mailboxes could be installed, now that they have them, they still don't have mailboxes.
