Real Estate in Barrington & The Northwest Suburbs: Lake Barrington Shores Real Estate-Condos and Town Homes For Sale in this Gated Golf Course Community

Lake Barrington Shores Real Estate-Condos and Town Homes For Sale in this Gated Golf Course Community

Over the last 2 days I have spent much of my time in Lake Barrington Shores either looking at condos and town homes for sale with clients or attending home inpections for homes my clients have decided to buy. Based on my personal experience in the last two weeks Lake Barrington Shores is an in demand gated golf community in Lake Barrington.

So why is Lake Barrington Shores Real Estate popular?  First let's discuss the lifestyle. Look at the grounds as shown in these photos, think about a very large lake for leisurely boating and fishing - a club house with 2 swimming pools-one indoor - a fitness center - conference rooms and ballrooms - the 18 hole golf course - walking paths through-out the community - beaches and outdoor grills along the shoreline of the lake - a bike riding path - well now perhaps you can imagine that this is a little like being on vacation year round.

One of my clients has decided to buy a Lake Barrington Shores Townhome and this is the spring view from the front of that home. Many of the condos and town homes are located on small cul de sacs like this and the landscaping is gorgeous. Although there are no flowering trees or gardens during the winter there are towering evergreen trees providing some very pretty scenes with the snow so your view will never be dull. The landscaping companies are out in full force adding mulch - weeding - trimming and tidying up.

Residents whether real estate owners or renters have full access to Lake Barrington Shores Clubhouse. The view above shows the back of the clubhouse across from one of the many ponds and is where the outdoor swimming pool is with a big area for relaxing. It was almost warm enough for the umbrellas to go up on the picnic tables but the pool is not yet open. I expect in May if our weather holds they will open it up but for now the indoor pool is the place to be.

If you enjoy wildlife there is plenty of it in the gated golf course community of Lake Barrington Shores. Be prepared for deer-geese-squirrels-ducks-chipmunks and more. As i was sitting a home inspection I watched Mr and Mrs Mallard duck wandering across the back of the home no doubt on their way from pond A to pond B. And then comes along Mr Mallard no 2. I wondered if he had a crush on Mrs Mallard he was certainly in a hurry!

On an April day the weather here in Lake Barrington Shores was glorious. At 65F with the sun high in the sky the lake was beautiful. The trees are in bloom or halfway to full leaf coverage and now all you can see are the rooftops of the homes across the water. The Canadian Geese were pausing on the beach. Looks like he wanted to go back to swimming and she was heading for some grass for lunch.
