About the community
An attainable, amenity-shared townhome and condominium community in southern Hoffman Estates.
Barrington Square is an established multi-family community on the south and central side of Hoffman Estates, north of Higgins Road (Route 72) and east of Barrington Road. It was developed by the national homebuilder Kaufman and Broad and, when it broke ground, was described as Hoffman Estates' first multi-family development, with construction running from roughly 1970 into the early 1980s. The community is built around attached homes: two- and three-story townhomes and single-level ranch-style attached units, plus some condominium and apartment buildings, originally marketed around shared recreation including a large community pool. It remains one of the more attainable ownership options in the Schaumburg Township area.

What it’s actually like to live here
Barrington Square is one of the practical, budget-conscious entry points into Hoffman Estates and the larger Schaumburg Township area. Its identity has always been attainable attached-home living: townhomes and condos built for buyers who want a suburban address, shared amenities, and a manageable price of entry rather than a large lot. For first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors, that value story still holds, and it is a big part of why the community turns over steadily.
The tradeoffs are the honest ones that come with 1970s and early-1980s attached housing. Homeowners carry monthly association assessments, share walls and common areas, and live with the maintenance realities of older buildings, so due diligence on the specific association's budget, reserves, rules, and any special assessments matters more here than in a newer development. Finishes and mechanicals vary unit to unit depending on how much prior owners updated. In exchange, residents hand off exterior upkeep, landscaping, snow removal, and shared-amenity maintenance to the association, which is exactly the appeal for buyers who do not want a yard and a long to-do list.
On location, the community is hard to beat for commuter access. The I-90 Barrington Road interchange, Higgins and Golf Road arterials, nearby Metra service, and proximity to O'Hare put jobs across the northwest suburbs and downtown within reach, while Woodfield-area retail, the Hoffman Estates Park District's pools and parks, and a full hospital are all minutes away. The immediate retail corridor along Higgins has been in a redevelopment cycle in recent years, which buyers can weigh as a potential positive over time.
The questions buyers actually ask
Barrington Square FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Barrington Square. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Barrington Square is organized into townhome and condominium associations, so monthly assessments vary by building, unit type, and size. Assessments on attached homes here typically fund exterior and common-area maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, shared amenities, master insurance on common elements, and reserves. Always request the specific association's current dues, budget, reserve study, rules, and any special-assessment history before writing an offer.

Your local agent
Joe knows Barrington Square
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
