Parts of the Detroit metro like Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Southfield, Oak Park and West Bloomfield come to mind.
For outside of the box, the cities in Upstate NY have areas of the city/metro with a visible presence. For instance, colleges like Syracuse University, SUNY-Oswego and Binghamton University have some of the highest percentages of Jewish students and just about every city with at least 10,000 people has a temple or synogogue. Suburban school districts like Brighton, Jamesville-DeWitt, Fayetteville-Manlius, Pittsford, Vestal, New Hartford, Amherst Central, Williamsville, Niskayuna, Bethlehem, Shenendehowa and West Irondequoit have relatively high Jewish student populations and during Football season, it isn't unusual for those schools to play on Thursday during Jewish holidays(Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah).
Edsg25- good memory! I figured everyone assumes Chicago has a large Jewish population. St. Louis is no slouch either- my dad grew up in University City, an inner-ring suburb that was like the Skokie of St. Louis. Even today, it has a very large Orthodox community.
Good memory is selective. At this point in life I can't remember what I had for beakfast today.or where.
Where Im at in Scottsdale, AZ has a sizeable population of Jewish people. Its not Chicago or NY, but for a large suburb, their presence is quite well known. In particular, there is a shopping center on the SE corner of Shea and Scottsdale Rd, where many of the stores are Jewish.
Boston Metro does have a large Jewish population, mostly in the suburbs of Milton, Newton and Sharon. Though you will find Jewish residents in many suburban areas of Boston. The Mattapan section of Boston was once predominately Jewish, but things changed after WWII and into the 60's. When the majority of the residents, left for the suburban communities I mentioned.
obviously…Chicago. At the turn of the 20th century, this was the world's third largest Jewish community after NYC and Warsaw. Chicagoland today remains a major Jewish center with a thriving Jewish culture. Today, not surprisingly, it's far more suburban than city, most heavily in the north suburbs, especially those on or near the North Shore (Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook), and northwest suburban (Buffalo Grove more so than any other). Skokie has lost much of its Jewish population, although older residents still remain and area around Crawford and Dempster is heavily orthodox. In the city, West Rogers Park remains the largest Jewish neighborhood.

Don't forget Brookline, which is the most Jewish of all and probably the de-facto center of Jewish life in the Boston area.
The website Shalom Boston ("Everything For and About the Jewish Community in Greater Boston and Beyond") ranks the most Jewish areas in Greater Boston as:
