If you had to pick one suburb of your city that would stand out as being the best known (people from out of town, for example, would say, "of course, everyone knows _____", having the highest profile, having a true "sense of place", having the greatest degree of amenities. Kind of.....this town really has it all....which one would you choose (and why)

The most well-known Pittsburgh suburb is probably Fox Chapel, because it often shows up on those wealthiest town lists. It’s semi-rural and there’s no “there” there. Sewickley, for my money, is the premier Pittsburgh suburb. Quaint, walkable and upscale core, with huge mansions on the fringe. The only affluent Pittsburgh suburb with any black population of which to speak.

Whitefish Bay maybe?

Personally, I prefer my 'burb, Shorewood. Of course I can walk to WFB in one block.

Haha I had the same thought.

If Grand Rapids had one it would probably be Wyoming. Although East Grand Rapids tends to be fairly well known because of it's more famous residents and wealth.

Mason... Rapidly-growing and affluent suburb in adjacent Warren County home to Kings Island amusement park and the large tennis facilities that host the annual Western and Southern Open.

I guess Columbia would be best known, although I would argue it has the least “sense of place.”
