residential suburb
Outlying housing area
A residential suburb is a neighborhood on the outskirts of a city composed primarily of houses rather than businesses or industry.
Residents typically commute to urban centers for work while living in quieter, less dense surroundings: They moved to a residential suburb when they had kids.
The term distinguishes from commercial or mixed-use suburban areas.
