I guess Chapel Hill in the NC Triangle would count, and Marin County in relationship to San Francisco and Manitou Springs in relation to Colorado Springs.
Probably could throw in Doylestown and Newtown (Bucks) for Philadelphia as well.
As for Pittsburgh, Sewickely and Beaver would fit the bill.
Sewickley is a suburb, not a satellite town. If you want to talk about boutique satellite towns, try Ligonier and Slippery Rock. It also wouldn't surprise me if Greensburg, Latrobe, Zelienople and Grove City develop this kind of reputation in time as well.
La Jolla is only a community within San Diego not a separate city, but since San Diego is so big in area and population, in most other metropolitan areas it would have remained a separate city. Like La Jolla, Del Mar is right on the beach, has its own mini-downtown and is just north of the La Jolla portion of San Diego. Each community flanks UCSD, La Jolla to the south and Del Mar to the north. The "Silicon Beach" area, though it might be more accurate to refer to it as "Biotech Beach", separates the two communities as well.
