'Vorstadt' and 'Gartenstadt' can both refer to quiet residential areas with lots of greenery. The difference lies in the focus. A 'Vorstadt' is mainly a district on the edge of a larger city. A 'Gartenstadt' is more of a planned residential area based on a specific idea: city life and plenty of nature are meant to come together. Learners may confuse the words because both are often green and less densely built up. 'Vorstadt' fits when the location on the edge of the city is important. 'Gartenstadt' fits when the special planning with gardens and green spaces is the main focus.
