coastal suburb
Beachside residential area
A coastal suburb is a residential district on the outskirts of a city that lies along a shoreline.
The term combines geographic position with urban proximity—close enough to a metropolitan center to commute, close enough to the ocean to smell salt air: Property values in coastal suburbs have skyrocketed.
We moved to a coastal suburb for the beach lifestyle.
