Great Value for Space

This condo is located in a very central area for downtown Evanston and a quick walk to the other big Kellogg buildings. A majority of the residents in the building are older or retirees but there are a few sets of Kellogg roommates in the building as well. Our unit is massive and a great price considering what is included. Be mindful though, that since it is a condo building, some units look different than others and have had upgraded or not.

Great apartment, meets all our needs!

My roommate and I have enjoyed our time at the Reserve. We each have our own bathrooms, a comfortable living space and kitchen, and good-sized bedrooms with large closets. The apartment AC and heating works really well and there’s in-house washer/dryer. Only downsides are thin walls between units and carpet (which is not in all units). Simple 17-min walk to the Hub and you can pay for covered parking.

You're paying for the location

If you've got a significant other that commutes to Chicago, centrum is a must for the proximity to the metra / cta. That being said, the apartment has been a bit of a letdown with things breaking, ac turning off when temp drops below 65 degrees outside, etc

Beautiful Brand New Building

Moved in 3 days after this apartment complex opened. The staff is very willing to help with questions or maintenance concerns. The apartments have beautiful amenities and the building is in a nice area of Evanston, right next to the purple line and the Metra.

Brand New

Overall great apartment - brand new building with attractive fixtures and plenty of light, unit isn't overly spacious but has an open living / kitchen area and a lot more closet space than others we checked out, building management is responsive, in-building gym is very nice and rarely crowded, rooftop is a plus (though no pool), lots of extras like storage, Pressbox, Luxer package system, Butterfly door system. For anyone commuting downtown the building is steps away from the Metra / Purple line which is very convenient but also means you'll hear the train despite significant amount of noiseproofing in the building - white noise blocker is a must for us at night.

Amenities are Awesome

The Centrum apartments have really nice amenities and fixtures but are lacking on the storage space (they do have store units to rent separately though) . The rooftop and gym are really nice, and even though there's no dedicated doorman there is staff here for much of the day and the electronic entry system, package system, and dry cleaning system all work really well. Biggest drawback is no real on-site parking but we've found a spot to rent about 2min away (they also offer rentals in a parking garage about 5min away).

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.
