Suburb
A suburb (more broadly suburban area) is an area within a metropolitan area, which may include commercial and mixed-use, that is primarily a residential area. A suburb can exist either as part of a larger city/urban area or as a separate political entity.

In many metropolitan areas, suburbs exist as separate residential communities within commuting distance of a city (cf "bedroom suburb".)
