I think many around Detroit are very urban, in addition to Highland Park and Hamtramck you have River Rouge, Lincoln Park, Dearborn, and Inkster.

Oak Park, IL
Evanston, IL

probably the two most urban suburbs outside of Chicago-- both of which are very diverse

My vote goes for Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia, directly across the Potomac River from our nation's capital.

yeah, does that count as a suburb? Hudson co. reminds me of another borough.

Hudson County is pretty dense. 13,000 ppsm (and much of the land area is "meadowlands"). Most of the cities and towns are 1 square mile or less.

Oak Park and Evanston, IL- once early examples of suburbs, now seem very urban relative to their outlying areas

Hoboken, NJ. Its a very urban suburb of NYC. Really that whole general area has dense suburbs until you get out further.

I have to second that one. Arlington and Alexandria are real urban with a lot highrises, urban neighborhoods, and probably more urban than a lot of cities. Plus Metro goes through both cities.
