In my book, prestige doesn't have much to do with the fact that a South Barrington home is bigger than a North Shore lakefront home. Having said that, I do think parts of the Barrington area are prestigious, as do other C-D'ers. If you search the "top 5 suburbs/bottom suburbs" post that is still on page one, you'll see there was a tally of responses and Barrington Hills was in the top ten.
Here's some interesting data from
www.higley1000.com Money doesn't always mean prestige, but I found the following data interesting
