So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a city (such as Crystal River). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Crystal River or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Crystal River includes: 34423, 34428 & 34429. |
