21 is the best suburb of big American cities.

Resource Thrillist created a list of the best American suburbs of large cities to show that you can work in the metropolis and live in a comfortable small community nearby. When choosing the best suburbs, the following factors were taken into account:

  1. The presence of pleasant and respectable restaurants and bars, a sufficient number of them near the house to avoid the need to go to the city to do it.
  2. Not too far from the city, so as not to have to spend a lot of time on the road.
  3. A place with history or its own unique elements, and not just another “sleeping area”.

The authors of the list admit that it was not easy to choose. First, it is not entirely clear what to call a suburb - as a rule, this is a place with a population from 2000 to 300 000 people. Secondly, some pleasant for life suburbs 10-years ago with time turned into retirement communities. Thirdly, the areas considered to be the suburbs of a certain city actually live a separate life. And some cities do not have suburbs at all.

  1. Atlanta, GA: Decatur
    Population: 20 086 people

Decatur is one of those suburbs that people consider part of the city, but it is also a separate 20-thousandth town and the gold standard for other Atlanta suburbs. It should be noted the progressive spirit of the city, its artistic atmosphere, convenient transportation to the metropolis (via East Ponce and MARTA metro station), as well as colleges - Agnes Scott in Decatere and Emory nearby. Almost 60% of the city’s population is younger than 44 years. If this did not convince you, then in Decater there are still historical areas, bungalows, an interesting city center and a giant farmers market.

But what really appeals to Decatur is the unique restaurants and bars that many large cities leave behind. In Decatur is the 3 bar from the list of the coolest in Atlanta (Brick Store Pub, The Pinewood, Leon's Full Service) and Atlanta’s top three restaurants (Revival, 7 Hens and Rezagarse). After visiting brewing bars such as BlueTarp Brewing, Three Taverns Brewery and Independent Distilling Co., you can go to Eddie's Attic - a place where live music is played and from which Decatur’s revival began in the early 90's.

  1. Austin, TX: Round Rock
    Population: 105 547 people

Раунд-Рок – это возможность для молодых семей и профессионалов, которым надоело жить в Остине, оставаться неподалеку и поселиться в городке с достойным выбором заведений, а также в более дешевом и большом доме. В Раунд-Рок есть отличные и невероятно популярные рестораны — Veracruz All Natural и Svante’s Stuffed Burgers, – а также собственный бейсбольный стадион низшей лиги. В городе особенно гордятся кинотеатром Flix Brewhouse – «первым в мире кинотеатром с собственной полноценной микро-пивоварней».

  1. Baltimore, MD: Tawson
    Population: 55 197 people

Tawson is a city of ideal size with a population around 50 000 is a person less than half an hour from the big city, with 2 colleges (which means more opportunities for children's sports and free sports watching) and dozens of restaurants, including absolutely underestimated places serving Vietnamese noodle soup.

  1. Boston, Massachusetts: Hingam
    Population: 22 157 people

Boston has other suburbs that are not included in this list: Newton, Brooklyn and Somerville. They are already cities in which it is very good to live, so if you can afford it, feel free to move. But keep in mind: commuter traffic between Hingam and Boston is terrible. The 93 track looks like a parking lot rather than a road most of the time. Although there is still a ferry connecting Hingam and Boston - you must agree, a very interesting and rare way to travel to work.

In Hingam itself, you will not be left with the feeling that this is a fictional town from the series. Here, much is impressive, ranging from the New England fishing village, as if it was specially created beautiful to frenzy, and ending with seven historical districts. The center of Hingam boasts its restaurants (there are more than 40 in the city) with a wide range of dishes.

  1. Charlotte, North Carolina: Davidson
    Population: 10 944 people

The Davidson suburb has many advantages, including: a) the city is similar to the scene of one of the novels of Nicholas Sparks; b) the best basketball player in the world went here to the most beautiful local college where you can bring children to basketball games and tell them about him; c) the city is located on the shore of a picturesque lake, and its center is so beautiful that you will want to cry from aesthetic happiness; and d) it is only 20 miles from Charlotte. While you were reading this, someone more agile has already managed to move there.

  1. Chicago, IL: Oak Park
    Population: 52
    066 people

Оук-Парк богат историей и культурой так, как мало какие из пригородов по всей Америке. Именно здесь известный архитектор Фрэнк Ллойд Райт провел большую часть начала своей карьеры — его дом и студия сегодня открыты для туристов, а вдоль этой улицы можно увидеть дома, построенные им же. Неподалеку находится дом, в котором прошло детство Эрнеста Хемингуэя, – там тоже сейчас музей. Если вы не увлекаетесь историей и культурой, то вам понравится местный уличный рынок, солнечные патио городских ресторанов и новые пивоварни. Жизнь здесь также хороша благодаря тому факту, что до центра Чикаго добираться быстрее, чем из некоторых его отдаленных районов.

  1. Dallas / Fort Worth, TX: McKinney
    Population: 161 905 people

На протяжении многих 10-летий бесспорным королем среди пригородов Далласа был Плейно, который за 2 поколения превратился из фермерских угодий — в город с населением почти 300 000 человек, бόльшим количеством штаб-квартир крупных компаний, чем в некоторых странах, и собственными при-пригородами. Но наш выбор падает на Мак-Кинни, и не только потому, что журнал Money called it the best place to stay in the country. And also because it has a very beautiful and, in a positive sense of the word, old-fashioned center, as well as many restaurants and bars.

  1. Denver, CO: Golden
    Population: 19 393 people

Golden City (as the city was called before) was once the capital of the Colorado territory, while in 1876, this title did not take Denver away from him. Golden - almost a paradise for tanned and toned residents of Colorado. There is a water park with boiling waters, 24 miles of incredibly beautiful routes for mountain bikes and hiking, ski slopes in winter, 10 museums and the world's largest brewery Coors Brewery. The old-fashioned atmosphere that reigns in the city cannot be artificially created, with Golden being only 14 miles from Denver. This is really a special place to live.

  1. Detroit, MI: Ferndale
    Population: 20 000 people

Ferndale is the epitome of “coolness” in southeastern Michigan, a city very similar to Detroit, and the best of its suburbs. Restaurants and bars may be better in other Detroit suburbs, but new party places, such as The Oakland or Imperial, as well as classic ones, such as the New Way Bar (open from 1935 onwards), leave them all behind. The best music here is playing The Magic Bag, and if the road M-1 Rail ever goes beyond the boundaries of a big city, then Ferndale will get the most benefit from it.

  1. Kansas City, Missouri: Prairie Village
    Population: 21 892 people

Бытует мнение, что Мишн-Хиллз (еще один пригород Канзас-Сити) – лучший для жизни. Это правда — он красивый и милый. Но при этом ужасно дорогой – сплошные дома с огромными газонами и миловидными Бьюиками. Но одних домов недостаточно, поэтому лучше выбирать Прери-Виллидж. Этот пригород находится всего в 10 милях от Канзас-Сити, сюда невероятно легко ездить из большого города, есть центр с достаточным количеством мест для шоппинга, ужинов и коктейлей, и он не кишит новыми застройками. До Сити ехать примерно 10 минут.

  1. Las Vegas, NV: Henderson
    Population: 270 811 people

Henderson is a huge city with a population of 270 thousand people. This is more than in Reno, NV. Therefore, it is incorrect to call Henderson a suburb, but, as local experts say, there is no better choice in the metropolis of Las Vegas. The city has areas that are located on higher elevations and are pleasant for life, and there are beautiful shopping districts, restaurants and entertainment, and, of course, a casino.

Another advantage of Henderson is that the city is considered one of the safest in the USA (the second in terms of safety Forbes). It is located very close to Vegas, and in many ways it can not be distinguished from remote areas of the metropolis itself.

  1. Los Angeles, CA: Studio City
    Population: 37 000 people

Studio City is not exactly a traditional suburb, but in Los Angeles, in principle, there is little traditional: the city consists mainly of districts, the connection between which is very different from the traditional connection between the city and the suburbs. Studio City is located near a major tourist attraction (Universal Studios) and the business district (in general, the same Universal Studios). But the houses here are not standing excessively, so many millennials and representatives of Generation X live here and raise children. Studio City has a sufficient number of new and long-popular restaurants, including one of the best sushi bars in Los Angeles (Sugarfish). Go to Hollywood about 15 minutes, to the center of the metropolis - about 20, but far from the beach - but in Los Angeles everywhere there are some geographical flaws, and with this, at least, you can put up with it.

  1. Miami, FL: Coral Gables
    Population: 49
    630 people

Ничто так не злит жителей Корал-Гейблс, как то, что его называют пригородом Майами. «Мы сами по себе», — кричат они, проезжая мимо в майках команды Hurricanes из Майами. Как бы там ни было, жить в Корал-Гейблс комфортно по нескольким причинам. Он находится менее чем в 7 милях от центра Майами; в городе красивая архитектура в средиземноморском стиле, созданная Джорджем Мерриком в середине 1920-х (история!); есть свой центр с ресторанами — не хуже, чем в Майами; детей можно водить на спортивные матчи в Университет Майами; и, в отличие от Майами-Бич, этот район не уйдет под воду через 20 лет.

  1. Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN: Excelsior
    Population: 2
    397 people

Excelsior may not be the closest suburb to the metropolis (the city is located on the shores of Minnetonka Lake in 20 miles from the center), but definitely the most beautiful. There are extensive tourist routes in nature, an excellent supermarket with craft beer, more than a dozen good restaurants within walking distance of each other, a local brewery, a huge communal land near the water, concerts, a new library, parking meters for boats at the dock, beautiful Victorian houses and even a renovated boat, which operates as a public transport between Excelsior and Wiseta.

  1. New York, New York: Montclair, New Jersey
    Population: 37 669 people

Previously, the suburbs of New York fought fiercely among themselves. People from Westchester yelled at people from Connecticut, and all together yelled at people from Jersey. It was a horror. And then a truce came - in the form of a town, with which almost everyone reconciled. This is Montclair. First of all, all 20 miles to the city, and if you go to NJ Transit, then in 31 a minute you will be at Penn Station. Most areas of Brooklyn can not boast. Not to mention the restaurants in which the best chefs, pizza makers and chefs of the region work. There is a lower baseball league team stadium. Two cinemas (one with films about superheroes, the second is more for art-house). Many bars. Four ice rinks. Mixed demographics. 20-minute journey to Newark Airport. Two local newspapers. Other suburbs may be better for specific categories, but in general none compares to Montclair.

  1. Orlando, FL: Winter Garden
    Population: 34 568 people

Winter Garden is called a “sweet little town with a rich past”, which is located right on the shores of Lake Apopka. What distinguishes Winter Garden from the usually inconspicuous suburbs of Orlando is its historical center and a number of serious restaurants, as well as a market where you can buy European pastries, fresh juices, meat, coffee, pizza on a coal and much more.

  1. Pittsburgh, PA: Dormont
    Population: 8 593 people

Если вы еще не в курсе, Питтсбург является новым самым популярным местом, чтобы поесть. Так что если вам придется выезжать из этого средоточия модных заведений, нужно найти способ это быстро исправить — например, поселившись в Дормонте, путь из которого до города занимает 9 минут электричкой. Это, кстати, рекорд среди пригородов. Дормонт раскинулся всего на 1 квадратную милю, но он наполнен миленькими домиками и вполне респектабельным центром, до которого можно дойти пешком. А еще здесь находится один из самых больших муниципальных бассейнов Пенсильвании.

  1. San Diego, CA: Solana Beach
    Population: 13 236 people

San Diego is another strange place where almost all the main suburbs are located north of the city. To get to Solana Beach, you need to drive to North County and drive through Del Mar. Despite this, Solana Beach remains a good option for living in the suburbs. It is not as unbearable and full of horses as in the Rancho Santa Fe, and not as unbearable and full of dudes on the red M3, as in Del Mar, and not as far as Encinitas. Solana Beach is a peaceful North County town with a great beach, a cute community of artists and beautiful people with pumped calves.

  1. San Francisco / Oakland, California: Larkspur
    Population: 12 204 people

Larksper is one of the towns in Northern California that seem fictional - with an old center, a vintage theater, mahogany and daddies in baseball caps and skateboards. But this place is quite real and, moreover, excellent. To the center of San Francisco, the ferry takes you in 25 minutes. Until Auckland is a direct road through the bridge Richmond. There is also a place to eat here, as well as drink a good cocktail at a trendy bar.

There are a lot of good places to live in Zatoka district, but none of them has such a good location (proximity to both cities), unique historical aesthetics and places to relax, as in Larksper.

  1. Tampa Bay / St. Petersburg, Florida: Dunedin
    Population: 35 321 people

Dunedin was the easiest choice on this list. Of course, you will enjoy a place with one of the best beaches in the world, views of the Gulf of Mexico, a huge art center, a public library with delivery, many breweries, the best barbecue in Florida (Eli's) and a cool history associated with Scotland.

  1. Washington DC: Tacoma Park, Maryland
    Population: 17 721 people

DC suburbs are a hard question to choose. Arlington and Alexandria are not considered, because they are cities themselves. Bethesda and similar cities create a feeling of cute suburban cliches: conveniently planned shopping centers for the upper middle class, casual boutiques. Against this background, Tacoma Park clearly stands out as a little hippie-style place: in its bars, for example, cocktails are named after the city’s civic leaders.
