A location on the outskirts
郊外, read こうがい, means the outskirts or suburbs. 郊外に住んでいます。 means living in the suburbs.

The city center
都心, read としん, means the city center. 都心で働いています。 means working in the city center.
都心まで電車で三十分です。 says that the city center is thirty minutes away by train. 三十分 is travel duration, not a departure time.
Residence and commuting
