Eh I go to Maryland and I'm going to have to give a big NO to College Park. It doesn't match up to the other places you listed. Plus nightlife's been awful since the bars closed, and I think three or four stores/food places have closed as a direct result of less foot traffic.

For Cleveland, where I grew up, Lakewood is the most urban, followed by Cleveland Heights.

Don't forget about Skaker Hts, with its two rapid train lines.

I agree with Lakewood OH though.

What about East Cleveland, Euclid and Bedford?

I was thinking of Euclid and East Cleveland as well. Parma too.

Cambridge, Brookline, Watertown, and Somerville come to mind immediately for the Boston area.

In Dallas I'd say Richardson.

Santa Monica is a classic urban suburb. It's denser than the city of Los Angeles. It's actually denser than the District of Columbia.

Mt. Lebanon, PA.

Miami Beach for Miami
Winter Park for Orlando
Philly for NY

Considering the many blue collar communities outside of Pittsburgh, I would think that Clairton, Aliquippa, Homestead, Swissvale, Braddock, North Braddock, McKees Rocks, McKeesport, Duquesne, East Pittsburgh, Corapolis and maybe Wilkinsburg, among others would fit.
