Suburbs or Satellite cities with the most personality/charm/character

Any major U.S. metro (or maybe Mexican/ Canadian)

Shoot!

I have to rep my hometown of Tacoma. I'm sure there's some east coast cities that can make a solid claim.

The Main Line, Pennsylvania for sure. One of the most charming suburban areas in the nation. Definitely a top 5 if not top 3.

Salem and Marblehead, MA, nearly four centuries of history, salty ocean air, plenty of historic and nautical charm.

Add to that Oak Park, Forest Park, Berwyn and Cicero as well.

University City and Maplewood Missouri outside of St. Louis. I have also fallen in love with Webster Groves and Kirkwood has a unique vibe as well (in a upscale way). Ferguson is a place to watch.
