Honestly, that’s sounding pretty close to just being a town.
I’ve lived in a few suburbs. One of them was blessed to have a dollar store within walking distance (you’d need to cross a busy highway, but you could walk). None of them so much as had sidewalks, though. Grocery stores were from 15-25 minutes by car. Entertainment (theaters, pools) were around that distance if not more.
Suburbs vary from place to place, just as towns and cities do. Some offer conveniences that make it hard to imagine living anywhere else. Some make it impossible to do absolutely anything without a car and a few gallons of gas.
- dragonwriter 7y agoYou seem to think that social activities depend on access by walking. Suburbs are very car dependent, sure, but that doesn't mean that social activities don't happen, it just means that people drive to them.
