_____________________________________________________________

The village of Barrington and surrounding communities, known collectively as the “Barrington countryside” (North Barrington, Deer Park, Barrington Hills, South Barrington, Tower Lakes and Inverness), enjoy over 90 square miles of breathtaking beauty in a convenient northwest suburban location. Some 20 lakes, abundant woodlands, gently rolling hills, prairies, streams and several miles of the Fox River shore-line contribute to the area’s strong country appeal. Each satellite community has its own distinctive character, with the Village of Barrington as the commercial, industrial and residential hub. As a whole, the Barringtons command great interest among home buyers looking for a blend of rural tranquillity, modern luxury and convenience to metropolitan Chicago’s finest amenities.

Housing: A balance of contemporary executive homes, Victorians, Colonials, Country English, Country French, ranches, and classic vintage homes prevail throughout the Barrington area. Home sites are large, generally from one to five acres, many enhance by mature trees or scenic woodland surroundings. The most expensive homes are in Barrington Hills, where prices range from $670,000 to $3 million or more. The least expensive homes are found within the Village of Barrington, where prices are between $155,000 to $800,000, but can also exceed a million dollars. North Barrington is home to the exclusive 750 acre Wynstone country club community, where high-end prices approach $3 million. South Barrington homes are comparable, beginning at approximately $375,000 and reaching over $2 million. The majority of the multi-family units in the Barringtons are those of Lake Barrington Shores, a 600 acre project with a private lake and a golf course adjacent to acres of forest. Prices here range from $150,000 to $460,000.
