To the residents of Lake Barrington, one of the most attractive aspects of the community is its semi-rural status. There has been a fair amount of development, including over 200 businesses that can be found in Lake Barrington Business and Industrial park, but nature preservation has been a source of motivation among the community. The village boasts substantial forest preserves and untouched wetlands areas that are protected by both the Lake County Forest Preserve District and Citizens for Conservation. In addition to these nature preserves, Lake Barrington features the Grassy Lake Forest Preserve, which entails a 3.5 mile walking trail. This beautiful path provides access to some of the most beautiful scenery in the county.
In addition to the well-maintained preserves in the community, Lake Barrington has several housing options. Nearly half of Lake Barrington’s 4,800 residents live in Lake Barrington Shores, a planned unit development. This neighborhood, in addition to beautiful homes, offers a golf course, bike path and private lake. For those in need of assisted living, Lake Barrington recently constructed a senior housing development, Lake Barrington Woods. For those in need of assistance, this community includes both a private dining room and hair salon. Lake Barrington provides a delicate balance between its resistance to become fully commercialized while offering beautiful homes and local businesses.
