Thing about Texan suburbs is, once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all. They are generic and sterile. Nothing wrong with it, but they are very cookie-cutter and they do not change much between metro's If one were to blind fold someone and take them to Georgetown TX, a suburb of Austin, and then take them to McKinney TX, a suburb of Dallas they would most likely never knew they traveled anywhere far.
I will say this. I'm not aware of the other Texas metros having anything in their suburbs equivalent to Addison, Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas or Plano's Legacy development.
I guess to the point, Dallas' suburbs are different from the suburbs in others metros in that a lot of the trendy areas millennials/young professionals are outside the city.
Houston's burbs have the most diversity in scenery. From the coastal burbs to the prairie burbs on the West side to the Piney Woods areas in the North. The only real variety in DFW burbs are the areas around water or in SW Dallas County where it's hilly.

It's the same way in Austin. Austin is largely unaffordable for the avg Millennial. The suburbs are becoming the next go-to thing. Round Rock and Leander are building their own mixed-use developments. Austin also has Domain which in some sense is similar to Legacy in the aspect of there being corporate towers / jobs in the mix of residential condo's and commercial space and it attracts plenty of millennials...Although I will say Domain is targeted for a younger crowd than Legacy is.

Isn't Domain technically in Austin propee though (and not the suburbs)?

Its in Austin proper but the area is very suburban and not dense at all. The residential areas due north of Domain don't look much different than Farmers Branch
I’m only familiar with Dallas area suburbs and the Fort Lauderdale/Broward County area. My observation is the South Florida Suburbs are WAY more expensive. I don’t know how people make it out there because I’ve looked for jobs out there and they almost always pay less than what jobs pay in Dallas. I will say in my searches for homes excluding the premium water front areas, good areas in Dallas proper aren’t much cheaper than comparable areas in Fort Lauderdale.

True, but Farmers Branch is an actual suburb and not a neighborhood in Dallas.
I was thinking suburban in the sense of actual municipalities outside of the city proper, not aesthethically suburban neighborhoods.
In terms of actual incorporated suburbs, I can't think of anything that matches Legacy.
Houston has Lake Woodlands and Sugarland Townsquare though, so there are other suburbs with mixed use.
Sugarland Townsquare came in mind, but it's much smaller in scale than Legacy or Addison Circle.
