I should say if you're a city person, you probably won't be interested in this list. If you enjoy bright lights and a hustle and bustle lifestyle, these places aren't for you.

Suburbs come in all sizes, from big to small. For this ranking, a suburb is described as "a place located within a Census-defined urbanized area, but outside the principal city with a population of at least 1,000. U.S. Census data was used to calculate median income and home value."

Niche did the ranking and based it on things like education quality, cost of living, crime rates, employment rates, commute times, ethnic diversity, and access to bars and restaurants.
