As cheap as it gets in Evanston and not bad setup for the price
You definitely sacrifice some of the amenities that nicer buildings like 1717 or E2 provide, but if you don't care about things like granite counter tops and hardwood floors throughout, OHo is a great option. Having internet and cable included is great, and we have tons of space. Appliances are older and you still get the benefit of washer/dryer in unit.
Worth searching around for an updated unit (original carpet removed, kitchen/bathrooms renovated) because there's very little price different between units even though quality varies a lot. Some units are pet friendly which we needed (our landlord didn't require an additional monthly fee, just a non refundable deposit, but different policies unit to unit).
Gas grills allowed on balconies is a major perk!

Studio / 1 bath
Great building without the bells & whistles
Park Evanston is newly renovated (as of summer 2018), so everything is now modern and up-to-date. Chose this because of:
(1) price - so much cheaper than E2, Centrum, and the other "luxurious" units
(2) location, location, location - right next to Whole Foods, Peet's, and Downtown Evanston.
(3) unit - great natural light and large windows. Great rooftop pool with a view.

Accomodating
Very lax and accommodating management with amazing location and affordable rent. Very underrated.

Face the Lake
If you can, get an apartment that faces the lake because I think it's brighter and more sunlight. Also apartments above level 6 you get a view, instead of facing the Wholefoods carpark.
Pro's:
- generally pretty quick with maintenance
- apartments are big and reasonably priced for what you get (vs E2 for example)
Con's:
- management sucks a bit - they turn the heating on really high as soon as it hits October even if it's warm. And the heating is pro-rata to every apartment so you have to pay for it even if everyone is complaining it's too hot
- they charge you for everything like if you get locked out it's $50 (even though the doorman just needs to come up to let you in they have spare keys on site)

Not Ideal
In my opinion, the reason a Kellogg student lives at the Park Evanston is because they want to pay a bit less than some of the other buildings and have a fairly decent location right next to the Whole Foods. The issue with that plan (which was what I had thought I was doing) is that the building management is horrendous. The building is old and out of date, the people who work there aren't helpful, and the cost jumps up aggressively after your first year so that if you plan to live there for 2 years you will end up paying a similar amount to the other buildings. I highly recommend staying away.

Ideal Location!
Perfect location right by the Whole Foods and close to most of the bars in Evanston. The building is a little more rundown than some of the others, with carpeted floors. Management is generally very responsive and friendly.

Great property
Excellent place to live, gym very decent and useful during the winter season. One of the closest apartments to the global hub. Next door to whole foods which is a blessing.

Great location, fantastic views
We chose our apartment primarily for the convenient location (right next to Whole Foods on Chicago ave), tons of sunlight and views of lake Michigan (floors 7 and above).
Pros: responsive management, spacious layout, friendly doormen, decent rent price (for Evanston standards), no issues with elevator maintenance or wifi dropping, lavish building parties each season
Cons: Carpet everywhere but bathrooms and kitchen, heating/cooling utilities split by floor usage, outdated kitchen
