Invite Addressing Issue - Strange abbeviation

Hi all.

I'm trying to address my invitations as formally as possible and I know I am to spell out everything without abbrevations. But I've come across the following:

40W650 Fakename Ln

I looked up the address on google maps and it isn't West Fakename, it's just Fakename.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I know it's not a country highway or anything; it's a relatively swanky neighborhood, and it is a house; not a condo/duplex. As much as I want to turn that W into a West, I'm thinking I'm just going to leave it as is and be satisfied to spell out "lane."

Does that seem like the right course? They are on my stepmother's list so I can't easily verify.


Thanks!

    I had one guest with a similar address.  I'm still a little confused about the weird house number, but the guest insisted that was her actual address.  I just left the W in the house number because it wasn't a street direction.

    I'd do it as you were given the address. I don't know what it means (!), but if that's the standard way of addressing something to her, I'd write it just like that.

    I would do it that way, leaving just the 'W'. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is a way some areas use to designate how many blocks west of a particular point the house is. It's really confusing. It does stand for West, but not the way we normally think of it, as in West Fakename Lane. Fakename isn't west; the actual house is west.

    Just use it as printed.  In the western suburbs of Chicago, that type of address is very common.

    Find out -- directly from your guests -- their exact address.  That's the simplest way to get the final answer.  And, yes, I've seen addresses like that.
