Don't we have a sociologist on here who writes on housing developments?
the term "suburban" necessarily exists to demonstrate its relationship with "urban" -- where it gets its services, where people work, how it is accessed and populated.
I don't know anything about Lexington, but like Milhouse said those sound like neighborhoods in Lexington. If you don't consider Lexington an urban area and you're thinking of those communities as being related somehow to Winston (commuters? industries?), then wouldn't it be exurban or something like a retirement community?
The fact that non-urban neighborhoods and communities in the US form artificially (and that people can work entirely online now and live wherever) probably means we need to develop new terms. But the fact that most posters here are making arguments based on an established set of terms and you're using your own to disagree means that we end up arguing about terms instead of the issues. Where's Kory to tell us about STASIS!?
