 The Barrington area is 35 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, yet readily accessible to the city by train or car. The communities are well-situated at the intersection of the ever-expanding Golden Corridor of the Northwest Tollway and the rapidly growing corridor of the Fox River Valley.
Fast, comfortable Metra trains whisk commuters downtown or to other northwest suburbs along the Metra/Union Pacific line. Several permit-only parking lots for Village of Barrington and BACOG residents are conveniently located near the Barrington train station.
A network of major roadways links the Barrington area with the other northwest suburbs and the greater metropolitan region, including the Northwest Tollway (I-90); Northwest Highway (U.S. Route 14); Rand Road (U.S. Route 12); Illinois Route 59; Lake-Cook Road; and U.S. Route 53. Two new interchanges have been constructed on the Northwest Tollway at Beverly Road and at Route 59 to provide access to the Sears/Prairie Stone Business Park.
O'Hare International Airport is just a short drive from Barrington via the Northwest Tollway. Several limousine services provide transportation to O'Hare and Chicago's other airports.
