South Barrington is a Great Place For Doctors To Live.
Well actually South Barrington is a great place for anyone to live. So why Doctors? Simply because South Barrington is located very close to I-90. It does not matter which subdivision in South Barrington you live in, it’ll likely only take you at most 5 minutes to get to I-90.
What’s so exciting about I-90? Not much, let’s face it, 6 lanes of traffic, cars, trucks, semi’s and toll booths is not a place we want to spend much time, but it does have advantages. You can get from A to B pretty darn quick, as long as you don’t want to head downtown to Chicago!
After spending some time with new Physician buyer clients this past weekend, I learned a little about how their working life is organized. They will see patients in their offices but if surgery is a skill set used in their practice they need to use a hospital. Each practice is affiliated with one or more hospitals.

Let’s say you are going to be affiliated with Sherman Hospital in Elgin, or Rush Children’s Hospital Specialists these are both very close to I-90. Alexian brothers in Hoffman Estates is just a minute south of I-90. Advocate Lutheran in Park Ridge can be reached from I-90 then north on I-294. Resurrection Hospital on the outskirts of Chicago is very close to I-90. Even Northwest Community Hospital can be reached from I-90 north on Route 53 and a few minutes west.
So if you are a Physician and need quick access to your hospitals, consider South Barrington and it’s close proximity to I-90. South Barrington has a great choice of luxury single family homes with prices from $600,000 up to about $8 million, it offers waterfront homes and large lots on average about1.5 acres. South Barrington homes are also close to The Arboretum Shopping Mall, The Tennis Club and Swimming Pools and theater too. Another option is Inverness, it’s very close to South Barrington with similar home prices.

Gene
Thanks Gene! You made my day!
Hi Corinne, Gene is right, good post.
Did you now that there are loan programs called Doctor Loans? Different t's and c's for doctors. Some really good deals are available.
Have a good weekend.
Yes I did know about Doctor loans, but only since my most recent client, who yes are almost done with their fellowship
Being home to Vanderbilt Hospital, Nashville attracts many in the healthcare industry. This is a great way to attract those buyers. I didn't know there were doctor's loans so that's something I need to look into. Thanks for a great idea for a post.
Great points Corinne you definitely can cover a lot of ground quickly on I90. I like the idea of targeting doctors for marketing Barrington homes. Makes sense.
Corrine:
Great Localism blog to inform prospective buyers and new neighbors.
Really great blog.
