A quiet Chicago village where people come to stay
Situated between Barrington and Palatine, Inverness is a residential community full of rambling streets lined with homes and mature trees. “Inverness is a small village,” says Broker Denise Curry with Baird and Warner, who has lived in Inverness for 40 years. “It doesn’t have a post office or shopping of any kind. It was developed in the 40s for people to get away from Chicago.” Today, Inverness does have some parks, but that quiet oasis from the city remains, offering a place where people can move for a slower pace of life surrounded by an active community. “A lot of people who live in Inverness stay in Inverness,” says Broker Rob Morrison with Coldwell Banker.
Inverness is an elegant community with suburban charm and a dash of rural character.
Inverness residents can enjoy privacy with community ponds and fields to spread homes out.

Brick homes on winding tree-lined streets
Houses in Inverness are often brick New Traditional homes sitting on at least an acre of land along narrow streets lined with trees. “Inverness is unique because it doesn’t have sidewalks or street lights. They are winding roads,” Curry says. “People walk their dogs on these winding streets, and you’ll see everybody out.” Houses often have circular driveways, and yards are full of mature trees that also hang over the roads for a more private feel. The homes here typically list between 600,000 and 900,000, but there are also townhomes available in certain subdivisions, like Ashbury, that list for closer to 450,000.
