LUXESQUIRE

Barrington Hills homes range from handsome colonial and Tudor estates built in the mid-20th century to architecturally significant contemporary homes designed for the modern luxury market. Many properties include guest houses, barns, riding arenas, and multiple garages as part of the primary residence package. The 5-acre minimum means that landscaping, outdoor living, and grounds design are as important as the home itself. Buyers should expect to invest in both structure and land — and should work with agents who understand agricultural as well as residential valuation.

Driving is the sole practical mode of transportation in Barrington Hills. The village has no sidewalks, no bus service, and no Metra stop within its borders — neighboring Barrington's Metra station serves residents who choose to commute by train. I-90 access via the Barrington Road interchange enables efficient expressway travel. Local Tip: Barrington Hills is intentionally designed around the car and the horse. If that is not your lifestyle, this is not your village. If it is, there is nothing like it.
