What is the most pedestrian friendly and walkable SUBURB?

[nei]

This might be a good. New Rochelle, NY has a bit of a resurgence in its downtown. An urban mall, "New Roc City", IMAX movie theater, couple of high rises (including one 400 foot skyscraper) right by the train station together with a traditional main street.

Then some more typical looking, though older suburban areas further out.

That's correct as well and both the DC and MD sides actually qualify as a walkable suburb if one looks past the DC side is in the city (barely) given it's very suburban nature.

Joliet? I've been through Joliet. Until the late 2000's, it wasn't even really a suburb of Chicago. It was born its own separate city, it's just become close enough to Chicagoland to gain the title of "suburb" even though it really is its own city. Also, I'm interested on why you think it's a very "walkable" suburb?

New Rochelle is just down the road from Manhattan, I guess technically it's a suburb, still feels like NYC in that area though.

It not far from the city border, though it's large in area. But its downtown is 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan, not really just down the road. I think it's still somewhat different. Large sections of New Rochelle don't feel like "big city". Pelham, NY is even closer to NYC, but has more of a suburban feel. Downtown has shops and a few apartment buildings:

some fancy old homes not far away:

Great Neck and Mineola mentioned before are also good examples
