A person who lives in an exurb, typically someone who works in the city but prefers to live in a more rural, spacious area.
From 'exurb' + '-anite' (suffix meaning 'inhabitant'), following the pattern of 'urbanite' and 'suburbanite.' The suffix derives from place names like 'Cretanite' for Crete inhabitants.
Exurbanites pioneered a lifestyle that seemed like the best of both worlds—country peace with city paychecks—but they've faced decades of criticism for creating sprawl and long commutes that actually harm the environment they moved to enjoy.
