You seem to be describing countryside, not the sea of free standing houses and small gardens most people associate with the word "suburb".

Most suburbs I've seen have areas of countryside around them. That's what makes them a suburb rather than an urban centre. It's kind of by definition.
You have to have all these things, because the children in a city can't just run off on their own and have to be marshalled and entertained at every step. Living in the suburbs I used to just go out every day and play in the woods and hills with my friends and we entertained themselves. Hardly boring!
