suburban homes
Cul-de-sac dwellings
Suburban homes are residential dwellings in the areas surrounding cities, typically characterized by single-family houses with yards, driveways, and more space than urban housing.
The phrase evokes a particular postwar American ideal: They moved to the suburbs for better schools and a backyard.
Suburban homes often suggest uniformity, quiet streets, and car-dependent living.
