suburbanite
Cul-de-sac dweller
A suburbanite is someone who lives in the suburbs—the residential areas surrounding a city.
The term is often neutral but can carry connotations depending on context: suburbanites may be characterized as enjoying quiet neighborhoods and good schools, or stereotyped as culturally bland commuters disconnected from urban vitality.
The new coffee shop attracted both city dwellers and suburbanites from the surrounding areas.
