Given a street in a city, is it possible to find all the house numbers on that given street? This is for a mailing that will be sent to the homes on about a dozen different streets.

The city in question is Northbrook, IL and I went to the tax assessor web site, but it doesn’t look like you can do a search on a street and get the associated house numbers.

The top-left box at [this url](http://www.reverseaddress.com/) seems to kind of do the trick if I just type in the street name, but I’m not sure how good the information is.

Are there any other resources that can be leveraged? Thanks.

Does [this](http://www.northbrook.il.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=188) help at all? (PDF linky)

I zoomed in to about 400%. Combined with a regular Google maps search to find the general location of a street, it should work.

Other options: if you have access to ReferenceUSA, it excels at this. Check with your local public library.

That is pretty cool. I wonder what other places have that info.

(Anyway, back to the OP…) That PDF, cool as it is, won’t help you for apartment buildings. But you probably knew that already.
