Default Most Beautiful Suburbs of America (Post Photos!)

Please note the city and state it's in, and if there's anything to do there
(i.e. Red Lobster, chain restaurants, etc...)

Thank you!

Park City, Utah. It is only about 1/2 an hour from Salt Lake, so it could be considered a suburb. Many people from there work in Salt Lake City.

And this doesn't just have normal suburban entertainment. They have skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and more entertainment.

There's Montclair State University, an Art Museum, Eagle Rock Reservation, all sorts of restaurants/bars/nightlife.. It has a bustling downtown.

I like how everyone is posting photos of the urban, or historically rich parts of the suburb they are describing (Hint to developers and town planners, you can have a suburb that has urban and walkable parts). I like urban-type suburbs myself, and may leave the city if I can find one that is close to my place of work at some point. I have no photos, but here in Pittsburgh- Mt. Lebanon, Aspinwall and Swickley fit that bill..

In my area, I'd say DeWitt, Fayetteville, Clay, Cicero and Fairmount/Camillus, among others.

I live in Shaker Heights,Ohio. It's a streetcar suburb of Cleveland that borders it on the east.

Shaker borders Cleveland's Little Italy and all of its museums and hospitals in the adjacent neighborhood. Shaker Square is a New Englandish town square that has restaurants, bookstores, coffee shops, a supermarket and a movie theater. It's not in the city itself but it's 5 minutes away from an upscale outdoor shopping center. There's a nature center and a reservation system that has 5 lakes in the middle of the city.

^^^
Franklin, Tennessee (pop. 62,487).

Suburb of Nashville (20 miles south).

The link is to a few photos I shot this morning. It only shows the "downtown" area...a lot of the rest of the area is typical suburbia (lots of cookie cutter houses, big box retailers, etc.), but the area itself is beautiful, surrounded by lush rolling hills. As far as things to do...it's home to the largest retail district in the state, Cool Springs. Too many stores and restaurants to list.
