South Barrington is just that. South of Barrington. Situated just north of I 90, south of Palatine Rd, it is all in Cook County and offers a wide range of prices for buyers.

South Barrington is comprised of many subdivisions but prices start at around $600,000 for a 4 bedroom home built in the early 1980's. Most of the homes that are priced under $1 million were built in the 80's or 90's and in a wide variety of styles, ranches and 2 stories being the most common.
