Seems that many US metropolitan areas have a sort of artsy-ritzy satellite town, usually a once-independent community reached or engulfed by suburbia/exurbia, usually with some type of tourist draw but mostly serving as a bedroom community. It might be a college town, or located on some sort of unique natural feature, or maybe with some history of serving as the local campmeeting or Chautauqua site.
What community plays this role in metros you're familiar with?
Examples (possibly debatable):
East Aurora to Buffalo
New Hope to Philadelphia
Mount Dora to Orlando
Location: Watching half my country turn into Gilead

Philadelphia has lots, depending on what you define as artsy-ritzy. There's Arden DE, West Chester, Media, Skippack, Kennet Square and more.
I'd say Manlius(village) and maybe Skaneateles for the Syracuse area.
