suburban enclave
Residential satellite neighborhood
A suburban enclave is a distinct residential area within or adjacent to suburbs, often characterized by relative homogeneity in wealth, ethnicity, or lifestyle.
The term can be neutral—describing any identifiable neighborhood—but often carries connotations of exclusivity or insularity: The gated community became a suburban enclave for the wealthy.
Immigrant families established their own suburban enclave outside the city.
