USPS Mount Airy Post Office has been serving the Mount Airy community since 1988, providing essential postal services and, importantly, passport application processing. Situated at 505 Windy Knoll Drive, just off of Route 27 and less than a quarter-mile from the intersection of Twin Arch Road, this post office serves not only the immediate residents of Mount Airy but also those in nearby areas like Woodridge and the new development at Waterside. The location is particularly convenient for families residing in the subdivisions lining Ridgeville Boulevard, who often utilize the facility during their weekend errands, especially given its proximity to the Giant Food store in the same shopping complex. The demographic leans towards families with children and older adults looking to renew their passports for leisure travel and those applying for their children’s first passports for family vacations. What sets this location apart is its consistently courteous staff, frequently praised for their patience with first-time passport applicants navigating the often-complex documentation requirements. Moreover, the Mount Airy post office offers passport photo services, a significant convenience since the nearest dedicated photo studio is located further up Route 27, past the Mount Airy Middle School, adding an extra trip for residents. Historically, this area was primarily agricultural, with dairy farms dotting the landscape. The Windy Knoll Drive location reflects the area’s shift towards suburban development, with the post office acting as a tangible link between the past and present. Locals frequently comment on the building’s unassuming exterior, which belies the critical services provided within. Many remember when the post office was a much smaller operation located closer to Main Street, near the historic Mount Airy train station, before the town’s population boom necessitated a larger, more accessible facility on Windy Knoll Drive. The post office also sees an influx of applications from residents of the 55+ community off of Watkins Drive, who frequently use the location for both passport and postal needs. Its proximity to the Mount Airy branch of the Carroll County Public Library encourages individuals to gather necessary documents or make copies before their scheduled appointments. During the summer months, the post office experiences a surge in passport applications as families plan their summer vacations. In the fall, applications tend to focus on winter holiday travel. The staff is well-versed in handling the specific document requirements for various destinations, advising applicants on necessary visas and other travel-related documents, further enhancing the center’s value to the community. The presence of both M&T Bank and ACNB Bank within easy walking distance is also a boon, enabling customers to easily acquire money orders for application fees. The Mount Airy post office remains a vital and accessible resource for passport services, deeply embedded in the fabric of the community it serves. The dedication to customer service and convenient location make it a preferred choice for passport application processing in the Mount Airy area and beyond, rivaling even the services offered at the larger facilities in Frederick. Many long-time residents appreciate the small-town feel and personalized attention they receive, fostering a sense of trust and reliability. This trust is especially important when dealing with sensitive documents like birth certificates and other identification. The post office’s commitment to security and confidentiality reassures applicants that their information is handled with the utmost care, further solidifying its position as a pillar of the community. The consistent service provided by the USPS Mount Airy Post Office is appreciated by many, and they see it as an extension of their neighborhood, which continues to grow and evolve along with the town itself. The location is known for offering early morning service, making it easier for individuals who work during regular business hours to apply. The friendly atmosphere and professional service continue to be cited as the main reasons residents select this facility over other, more distant options.

Located at USPS MOUNT AIRY POST OFFICE at 505 WINDY KNOLL DR.. Easy access from major highways.
Parking at the USPS Mount Airy Post Office is generally convenient, with a dedicated 55-space free parking lot directly in front of the building off of Windy Knoll Drive. During peak hours, particularly midday on weekdays and Saturday mornings, parking spaces can be more difficult to find, so arriving 10-15 minutes early for your passport appointment is advisable. There is also overflow parking available further down the lot near the adjacent Giant Food store, but be mindful of the designated parking spaces for the grocery store to avoid any issues. There is no paid parking in the immediate vicinity. During the summer months, be aware that the black asphalt can get quite hot, so avoid prolonged periods of standing in the sun. In the winter, the parking lot is typically well-maintained, but be cautious of potential ice patches, especially in the early morning hours after a snowfall. Street parking is not available on Windy Knoll Drive or the immediate surrounding streets, so relying on the post office’s parking lot is your best option. While convenient, it’s important to plan your visit to allow extra time for finding a parking spot, particularly during the busier times of the week or year.
While the USPS Mount Airy Post Office is not directly served by a dedicated public transit route, the Carroll Transit System’s Route 10 operates within reasonable proximity. The closest stop is located approximately 0.4 miles away at the intersection of Twin Arch Road and Ridgeville Boulevard, near the Giant Food store. From that stop, you would walk south on Ridgeville Boulevard, then turn left onto Windy Knoll Drive. The post office will be on your left. The Route 10 bus runs approximately every 60 minutes on weekdays, with limited service on Saturdays. A single ride costs $2.00, and a day pass is available for $4.00. Unfortunately, there are no direct train or metro connections to Mount Airy. The closest MARC train station is in Brunswick, requiring a transfer to local bus services. The Route 10 bus is wheelchair accessible, ensuring transportation options for all individuals. From the bus stop to the post office, the route is relatively flat, though there are sidewalks for the majority of the journey. It’s advisable to check the Carroll Transit System’s website for the most up-to-date schedule and route information. Given the limited public transit options, driving or ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft are generally the most convenient ways to reach the USPS Mount Airy Post Office.
