Great place to live if you want to socialize and have it all easy

E2 is the place to live if you are looking to socialize. Most of the gatherings (parties, group projects, sports, bbqs) take place at E2, making it very convenient specially during the winter.

The apartments are very new and luminous, but they are not specially large. The building is 10 min away from downtown and 25 min walk from the Hub.

Solid place, but too expensive

Nice building and amenities with updated rooms. It's just too expensive though. There are better value options in Evanston.

You should live here, but the bldg mgmt is a disaster

Amazing building to be with Kellogg people and knowing what I know now I would still make the same choice.

The bldg management is a disaster and you just need to be okay with that. For example, the West Tower elevator has been broken for like 3 weeks and people have either had to wait like 10 minutes for the elevator or take the stairs.

Also I highly recommend trying to live in East Tower if you can - easier for package collection, getting guests into the building etc.

I moved to E2 because I wanted to be around most of my classmates. Social events are heavily indexed in E2, so I'm happy with it.

Overpriced, terrible management, great maintenance team, issues with elevators

The apartment is great. Heater/AC is VERY noisy though - fan only works at max speed, impossible to have a tranquil night of sleep without ear plugs. Management has serious issues with responding to e-mails or answering the phone/returning calls, but work great if you are physically present in their office. Maintenance is great - usually able to do small fixes on the same day with no extra charges. West tower has been with only one working elevator for several weeks now, while management is struggling to get the second one fixed - appears to be very serious and hard to fix given the time frame, so something to consider in the future. Had issues with reserved elevators upon moving in (broken elevator, mix-up with booking by management), but management reimbursed extra expenses with movers so all good. Also, it is very annoying that in the west tower you can't have guests come up on their own - you HAVE to go down to pick them up. There's a completely useless callbox below which will give them access to a lounge but not to the elevators. In addition, the "Fantastic pool" is only open for 3 months during the summer as it's outdoors, so it's quite useless. Gym is OK, but missing a few key equipment like a pulley (whoever bought them in the first place had probably never used a gym before).

E2

E2 is a little ways out of the way of downtown evanston but lots of Kellogg meetings / bus pickups / etc are there so it is definitely convenient. The pool and gym are nice too although overall I feel the building is becoming outdated.

Lot's of Kellogg people living here makes it worth it, but management (outside of maintenance) literally could not be less capable. Elevators are always out.

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.
