Torrance, CA is the best suburb in the US to me. It had everything, diversity, good food, good shopping, friendly people, safe neighborhoods, it was relatively affordable, and it was just minutes from LAX and any part of LA.
Highlands Ranch, Colorado
The Woodlands, Texas
Chesterfield, MO
The older suburbs of cities like New York and Chicago may have a certain ornate, historic charm to them, but they're not nearly as livable as the newer suburbs full of families and big SUVs. The cookie-cutter suburbia of the areas I listed are second-to-none in terms of affordability, liveability, safety, family-friendliness, recreation, etc, etc, etc.
I'd say Princeton, New Jersey is the best suburb I've been to. That's if it's considered a suburb.
