New York suburbs
Tri-state bedroom communities
The New York suburbs are the residential areas surrounding New York City, extending into Long Island, Westchester County, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
The phrase evokes a particular American landscape—commuter rail lines, single-family homes, good school districts, and proximity to Manhattan without its density or cost: They moved to the New York suburbs when the kids started school.
