Concept information
Preferred term
bedroom communities
Definition
- In its purest form, a bedroom community provides little more to its residents than a place to rest between the commutes necessary to acquire the goods, services, and employment not provided within their own community. Also referred to as sleeper towns and dormitory towns, these communities often have highly regarded public schools but few of the other business and municipal facilities found in most towns and many contemporary suburbs.
