Streetcar suburbs were close-in neighborhoods that were built on streetcar lines (and horsecar lines before that) and were typically a mix of single family, 2 family, and 4 family residences with some commercial properties at intersections (corner stores, etc.) along with a few larger apartment buildings. They started being built in many cities in the US around the 1880s.
They were fairly walkable but people typically needed to use the streetcar to get to work in the central core of the city. They're a little less walkable now, at least where I live, because the corner stores no longer exist, people go to big box grocery stores.

Streetcar suburbs aren't considered suburbs now?
