You and I know about Greenwich because we live or lived in the NY metro/Northeast; less certain people from the Midwest, South (outside of transplants) and West Coast are very familiar with it.
Yeah I would think Beverly Hills would be the most well-known suburb in America, if it's considered a suburb.
Los Angeles city is honestly 80-90% suburb. Pretty much most of South LA in it's entirety is built as suburban single family homes and ofcourse the "Valley". The only "urban" parts of the city are certain parts of West and Downtown with their multi units. So Los Angeles would be the most famous suburb. LA is just something else, hard to describe.
Greenwich (CT) is probably the most famous suburban town/city in the US.
Then you have Beverly Hills and La Jolla, but those are different in the sense that they are basically upscale towns/neighborhoods within a major city.
If you're talking suburban in the true sense of the word I would say Greenwich. That name just elicits wealth and elite bedroom community of NYC for generations.
For name recognition, Beverly Hills would be ahead of Greenwich.
New York = Westchester County, Fairfield County (CT)
Philadelphia = Main Line, King of Prussia
Washington, D.C. = Montgomery County, Fairfax County
Cleveland = Shaker Heights
Detroit = Grosse Pointe
Chicago = Evanston, Winnekta, suburbs to the north along Lake Michigan
Kansas City = Overland Park
Dallas = Plano
Atlanta = Buckhead
Nashville = Belle Meade
Raleigh = Cary
Buckhead is in the city of Atlanta. It is suburban but not a suburb.
