In Buckhead, even the highrises typically have driveways to the front door. With some recent exceptions most seem to be set back from the street. Above-grade garages are ubiquitous. Those are suburban aspects -- dense suburbia but suburbia.
Some suburban downtowns are much more urban. Bellevue, WA, is my local example. Since the mid-80s most buildings have gone right to the street with no setbacks and the parking below-grade.
It wouldn't be an accurate statement to make. Nobody who lives in Buckhead says they live in a suburb of Atlanta. But people who live in, say, Alexandria, VA do say they live in a suburb of DC.

Keep in mind however, that several places can't have below-grade parking due to soil conditions. I work in the heart of downtown Orlando, and all parking garages are either built into the highrises (parking occupying first few levels, then remaining building sitting on top) or they are separate (but attached) structures entirely. Miami is like that too. Not saying this is the case with Buckhead (it's not.) Just pointing that out.

Exactly. Buckhead is district of Atlanta. It's "suburban" in nature, but it is NOT a "suburb of Atlanta."
