What you find outside of Chicago, New York (Long Island, parts of North Jersey for example) LA (Orange County for example) or South/Central Florida. A lot of these areas have been suburban since World War 2 or shortly after, and have a lot of what you find in a city, but with a lower concentration of it, and without as much variety. These areas haven't been rural in a long time, but they're also not urban areas. Many cities in the South would be closer to small towns in other parts of the country around World War 2 and in the years after, with some of the port cities being like mid size port cities up North, but don't have much in common with cities up North otherwise, they are different parts of the country.
A housing development built in a corn field in the middle of nowhere isn't really suburban, it's just land developers built houses on. Suburban is a mindset and a way of life, usually it goes with an area that has been suburban since many generations before your generation lived there, since you'd have to meet somebody 100 years of age or older to hear anything about what the area was like before it was the suburbs.
