Barrington Hills is a special village. It is a strategically located enclave surrounded by densely populated suburbs, providing a beautiful countryside of wooded, rolling hills combined with lakes, ponds, and streams. The footprint of Barrington Hills is that most homes are set upon a minimum of 5 acres. Through careful planning and preservation of the area's beauty and natural resources, the Barrington area has continued to grow while protecting its enviable quality of life.
