So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a city (such as Lake Elsinore). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Lake Elsinore or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Lake Elsinore includes: 92530, 92531 & 92532. |
