Great view and location but seems overpriced

I love the location of Park Evanston. I can walk to Trader Joe's and it's right above a Whole Foods. It's also in the middle of downtown Evanston. The windows in Park Evanston are great and I have a beautiful view of the lake and campus. But this is an expensive place to live given that the kitchen is dated and I don't have hardwood floors. The management is hard to work with and the pool is closed most of the time.

Park Evanston

Great place to live; close to campus and downtown, and conveniently located next to Whole Foods. Biggest issue is that the thermostats aren't always responsive so it can get very hot in the unit.

Decent Building but Horrible Management

The Park Evanston is a fine building, although a bit old. The rooms are fine, the rent is somewhat cheaper than Optima Horizons or E2 and the location is good. But I have found the management to be really horrible -- they charge ridiculous prices for heating with almost nothing to back it up. It wasn't until a group of us called them out for it that they lowered their prices. I wouldn't necessarily recommend avoiding the building, but certainly be on top of your stuff when dealing with them.

Great apartment, so-so management

Great apartment -- great location, good layout, awesome views. One of the better apartment gyms in Evanston.
Management is fairly unresponsive. Apartment is very hot.

4/5

Apartment is great minus a few complaints. The management isn't the best (aka non-responsive and not willing to help) and you cannot control the heat/AC. Otherwise, I've enjoyed my living situation.

Good location, nice views, but it's a sauna inside

The apartment has an excellent location, has great views if you are above the 12th floor.
However, the way they charge you for heating and cooling is sketchy. In your apartment, you can only have ac or heating, and heating is the only option from october to may. You cannot completely turn off the heat, so most of the time it's really, really hot inside. If this wasn't enough, they charge you for heating based on a pro rated form, so you might end up paying up to 200$ of heating, even if you are not using it and it's disgustigly hot inside. Oh and management is also rude and not willing to cooperate on anything regarding the temperature.

Great location and views

Conveniently located by Whole Foods and walking distance to the Jacobs Center. Safe and secure. Management is a bit scattered, but overall pretty friendly.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

Downtown Evanston has everything you need. E2 is walkable to campus, a Target, and plenty of restaurants, as well as Metra and L stations to get to Chicago. Right across the street is a Subway, a Thai restaurant, and a pizza place, plus there’s a 7-Eleven about a block away, so you’re very close to options if you need food in a pinch.
Close to downtown Evanston but a bit far from E2/the reserve. One of closest apartments to Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Jewel Osco while also being close to campus. Very close to the lake!
Downtown Evanston has everything you need from a downtown including grocery stores, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Downtown Evanston is great - plenty of great food within walking distance, Metra and El trains right nearby, a really nice place to be. Only downside is it's far from school and the only truly walkable grocery store is a Whole Foods, which can get expensive. Overall, wouldn't want to live elsewhere though.
Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Very easy access to Lake Michigan as well!
There isn't much to do here, but that's true pretty much everywhere in Evanston. We're in walking distance to all of "downtown" Evanston, so restaurants / fast food / subway, etc. It's a slightly longer walk than desired to Kellogg, but that's fine.
The apartment is central to downtown and is walking distance to most bars, restaurants, shops, beach, etc. Evanston is a bit of a sleepy town (especially during the pandemic...I've been told it was much more vibrant pre-pandemic).
I live just south of the main downtown area, and it's the perfect intersection of being close to the action but also a bit removed when you want some quiet. I like being a in a more residential pocket, so there is slightly less foot traffic and really nice areas to walk around with a dog, etc.
