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