Popular Place for Kellogg

There are a lot of Kellogg people at E2 which makes both the social and academic life easier (can hang out with friends and also have group meetings here). Top amenities (pool, grill, gym, basketball court, etc.) and located near both Purple Line and Metra. New building so doesn't really have any maintenance issues but if anything needs repaid, the staff usually fixes it within 24 hours which is great.

Nice complex, mediocre management

Internet and elevators often go out. Management staff tries to be accommodating, but there are still many issues in the building and they are not always the most responsive. Maintenance team is excellent for small issues in the apartments. Rent is incredibly high for a Chicago suburb.

Good amenities w/ poor management

The amenities are great during the summer. The rooftop was used weekly by my friends, neighbors, and roommates. However, the management here has made it a frustrating experience. First our blinds broke, allowing everyone walking by to peer into our first floor street facing apt. This took months to repair. Next the electronic locks broke so that every time we came home we had spend time walking to the front desk to get a temporary key. It took 7 times of this happening for management to realize there was an issue. Next, my bike was taken from the indoor bike storage room and management didn't help me to find it even though the room has security cameras. I would not choose to live here again.

New building but horrible management. Always trying to nickel and dime tenants despite some of the highest rates in Evanston.

Great...but expensive

E2 is nice. The units are new and clean, the amenities are great, the apartments have good storage and wonderful temperature control. That said, it's one of the most expensive buildings in the area. It's a safe bet for people who want a consistent experience, but in terms of value there are better options.

High end look and feel built at a budget price

The building is nice and looks new, modern and clean but it's clear that many things about the layout and such don't make sense and also that all the appliances, although they look good are actually pretty cheap and not the best in terms of functionality. Still great to live in, especially if you want something new and modern!

Downtown Evanston Reviews

506 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.
