suburban community
Outlying residential area
A suburban community is a residential area on the outskirts of a city, typically characterized by single-family homes, lower population density than urban centers, and reliance on automobiles.
The term often implies shared infrastructure like schools, shopping centers, and parks serving middle-class families: They raised their kids in a quiet suburban community outside Denver.
