Closest to hub, spacious apartments, nice outdoor spaces

This place has been a great home base for Kellogg. Space is much bigger than the average Evanston apartments for comparable price. My unit has an outdoor space which I love. Some finishes are out of date, but still nice!

Location

Good thing: Evanston Place has a good location, which is 12 mins walk to the MFC building. They allow pets(with fees), and they just newly constructed.
Bad thing: The overpriced rent, small gym(couple running machines), prolonged response from the office(bad management). The apartments facing Chicago Ave. is terrible because not much sun received and the extreme noise level (whole night).

Expensive but close

The location is what convinced us and it has been very practical to be so close to the university, everyday shopping and social gatherings. The renovated apartments are very nice and we have only had minor maintenance issues so far, but do not expect everything to be new. It is expensive, there is no way around that. I look out towards the lake every time I remember how much we are paying to feel better about it.

Bike racks are always crowded and they have not delivered on their promise to remove unused bikes. Cannot talk about the amenities because I have only used the tech room (always freezing).

Paying for Location--and it's worth it

The convenience cannot be beat: Whole Food across the intersection; less than 15 minute walk to the Hub; three blocks from the L. Is rent a little high for units that don't have in-apartment washer/dryer and minimal amenities beyond the great pooldeck? Yes. But the renovated units are outstanding in fit and finish.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at E2 Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at John Evans Building
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!
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Optima Horizons
Downtown Evanston has everything you need from a downtown including grocery stores, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Centrum Evanston
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Evanston Place
Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Very easy access to Lake Michigan as well!
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Albion Evanston
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Optima Horizons
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).
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at 1454 Oak Ave
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.
