Example I always here
KCMO- Overland Park, Olathe
Detroit-Farmington hills, Birmingham, Royal Oak, Rochester Hills
Houston-Sugarland, Katy, The Woodlands
Phoenix-Scottsdale

Best meaning safest, place to raise a family, good schools and overall good quality of life.

I just want to know what are some suburbs you went to that caught you by suprise as being somewhere you would live.

Honestly.....All of them. You can't really just pick a major city and say they have better suburbs than another city under the criteria you listed.

What he said. I can't think of any US cities, even small ones that don't have at least one (usually several) really great suburban towns.

The DC area has the richest and most affluent suburbs in the country. Many of the top 20 highest income suburban counties are either in northern Virginia or Maryland. Prince Georges County is also the wealthiest Black county in the nation. Howard County, Maryland, the third richest county in the nation, always ranks high in CNN Money magazine's "Best Places to Live" list.

I, myself, like the NYC suburbs in New Jersey because no city is more cultured, more exciting or has more to offer than the Big Apple.
