Single characters do not live in the suburbs. I know this isn't a hard and fast rule, but how many sitcoms do you know set in the suburbs where the principle character is single (and not a single parent or a teenager?) No, those sitcoms are always set in a remote location (like Nantucket or Boulder, Colorado) or in a city like New York or Washington, DC.
Single characters in the suburbs are always relegated to the pathetic best friend or sister who can't seem to find/keep a decent relationship. These characters are never principles. The show does not revolved around them. They are a second-string comic relief in the form of a running gag that repeats from show to show.
Single principles should live in the city (unless they are Reba).
Think about it. "Happy Days" was set in the suburbs, but when it came time for a spinoff about two single women living together ("Laverne and Shirley") they whisked them off to the big city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
So, I need to move to the city. DC here I come!
