Barrington, IL Real Estate
Equestrian estates, a boutique downtown, and top-rated schools — find your next chapter in Barrington
Why Buyers Choose Barrington
Barrington real estate stands apart from most Chicago-area suburbs — it's one of the few communities that spans four counties (Cook, Lake, Kane, and McHenry), and its equestrian tradition and estate-sized lots give it a distinct, more rural character despite being well within commuting distance of the city.
A walkable downtown built around the historic Metra station keeps local shops and restaurants thriving without the chain-retail feel of many nearby suburbs, and the surrounding villages — North Barrington, South Barrington, Barrington Hills, and Lake Barrington among them — share that same low-density, horse-country identity even as separate municipalities.
For families, Barrington Community Unit School District 220 serves the area — see our full guide to schools in the district.

What Makes Barrington Home
Equestrian Culture
Barrington has one of the strongest equestrian traditions in the Chicago area, with horse farms and estate-sized lots throughout the surrounding countryside.
Boutique Downtown
A walkable downtown built around the historic Metra station gives Barrington a genuine small-town center, with local shops and restaurants rather than chain retail.
Top-Rated Schools
Barrington Community Unit School District 220 is consistently one of the highest-rated districts in the region, a major draw for families.
Estate Properties
Large-lot estate homes and equestrian properties give Barrington a different character than most Chicago suburbs — more privacy, more land, more room to spread out.
