Things that make Barrington unique
Longtime lurker here, I've been here for 19 years and The unemployment rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $580,900 on average. Rent is about $1,886/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 11,049 people. You can expect to pay around $1,886 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Not enough green space

Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
