Any reasons why you are using Request.Form instead of the Address parameter in your action method?

Use of the Model Binder will be easier. You just have to name your input tags to match your Address model.

Address model:

public class Address
{
   public string
Street {get;set;}
   public string
Province {get;set;}
   public string
PostalCode {get;set;}
}

<input id="Text1" type="text"name="Street" maxlength="255" required class="street"
/></td>

Your actual issue is that this:

@using (Html.BeginForm())

..will post to a POST action method called Index. You need to specify the method you want to post to if this isn't what you want:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Address", FormMethod.Post))
