A residential suburb is a type of suburb that primarily consists of residential areas, with houses rather than offices or factories. It is an outlying part of a city or town, or a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city. Suburbs can exist either as part of a larger city/urban area or as a separate political entity. They are often located just outside of larger metropolitan areas but can span even further. Suburban neighborhoods are typically characterized by lower population density and a more spread-out layout, offering a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere with a focus on privacy and spaciousness. They tend to have more green spaces, parks, and recreational areas. Suburbs are primarily residential areas, although some commercial properties and businesses may be present. Housing in suburbs is more affordable than in the main city centers, and youll find larger homes with their own private yards, rather than smaller apartments or condos.
