Barrington Area?

ETA: If your husband works near S. Barrington why on earth would you look at Lagrange??? You need to consider Bartlett, Fox River maybe consider St Charles, beautiful areas.

I love South Barrington. I would live there in a heart beat if we could live that far out. I've known many people that live in that area and none were snobs, even the ones that lived in million dollar homes. But does your husband work in the city? If yes, then his commute would be terrible.

Would you consider Lagrange? Or are you wanting more north? Maybe Elmhurst? How far west are you willing to go? Sugar Grove and North Aurora or Batavia are very nice areas too.

Very good area, and good for resale since the school district is solid.

Since you seem to be willing to go pretty far out, have you considered Carpentersville or Huntley?

ETA: Other suburbs that might have more land: Glendale Heights, Hanover Park, Itasca

I like Barrington, especially the little downtown part. I'm sure it has it's share of snobs, but my best friend grew up there and she's the least snobbish person I've ever met!

I have friends that grew up there, and friends that live there now. Nice area.

Barrington Hills is where the big $$ is. Personally, I have seen some snobbery there, as a friend's family was part of that area. But I'm sure that's not the case across the board...just in case you are looking at a multi-million dollar home...
