suburban living
Cul-de-sac existence
Suburban living refers to life in residential areas surrounding a city—neighborhoods of houses, lawns, and quiet streets distinct from urban density or rural isolation.
The phrase evokes a particular lifestyle: commuting to work, raising children in good school districts, backyard barbecues.
It carries both positive connotations of safety and space and negative ones of conformity and blandness: They traded the excitement of the city for suburban living.
