exurbanite
Beyond suburbs resident
An exurbanite is a person who lives in an exurb—a prosperous area beyond the suburbs, typically with larger properties and a more rural character while still tied economically to a nearby city.
The term suggests someone who has traded suburban convenience for space and privacy but still commutes to urban centers: The exurbanites moved thirty miles out for acreage and quiet.
