Enjoying my stay here, very conveniently located, well-maintained building with great views and amenities. Only consideration is the HVAC system - once the heater is enabled, the entire building can get really warm especially if it isn't cold outside and vice-versa.

The building itself is great - apts are good, amenities are nice. However, management is very slow to responses and not helpful. Multiple floors had no hot water for months and they took forever to fix the issue. Pest control takes 2 weeks to schedule.

It’s a great place to stay, just know that management is a bit annoying to deal with.

Excellent location. Supremely convenient. Well-maintained building and facilities.

Great apartment but i haven't had hot water for almost two months now

Really think I picked the right choice for me. I am a grad student @Northwestern and the close walk to campus is ideal! The apartment amenities are great.

Only downfalls are 1) kitchen sinks don't have garbage disposal so it gets clogged easily 2) only one wifi option and it isn't good 3) they turn on heat very early on and you don't have AC (they can either have heater or AC on at the same time)

So far, Park Evanston has been very solid. The room is nice and comfortable, the view is awesome, management has been nice and responsive, and everything has worked pretty well. The building is a bit older, but the maintenance team has been quick to respond and has been effective in handling the issues as the arise.

The apartment has a very irresponsible and unprofessional management team. They overcharge the resident without notice and will still charge you rent for both units even after you transfer to a different unit in the same building. The utility fee has increased significantly since we moved in. The management team is slow in fixing problems and rejects requests without any explanation.

Its a bit expensive and utilities add up because heat/hot water/gas etc is split between the building regardless of if you don't use any. Then you pay your own electric and wifi separately. Parking is another ~130 per month. The higher units that face any direction but north get very hot in the winter because the windows barely open and the heat is not that controllable.

The building management are not the most responsive.

only 2 bed and up have laundry in unit.

Pros:
+ Amazing views of Chicago and the lake
+ Responsive maintenance team
+ Good location; close to Northwestern
+ Well-equipped gym
+ Kind, helpful doormen

Cons:
+ Remodeled units are attractive but workmanship is poor. Cabinets are badly scratched, some drawers don't open properly, floor has gaps, carpet is old
+ Only internet available in building is 50 mbps AT&T - impossible to get faster service because building's owners have not invested in new wiring
+ The building turns heat on in the colder half of the year and AC on in the warmer half, but each is unavailable in the opposite half of the year
+ Thermostats don't allow you to select an actual temperature - only option is to put the thermostat on "on" or "off" (i.e., in the winter you can have heat or no heat, in the summer you can have AC or no AC)
+ Water in unit is sporadically very hot or very cold

They have been upgrading the building so the elevators finally work, after last year when they replaced them and they were constantly breaking down. The internet is a very old system thru the phone line and it goes down frequently. Your only option is AT&T it’s $70 a month and bad.

The 1 bed and studios don’t have the laundry and the machines are dirty and smelly

The building can only run ac or heat and the windows don’t open far so when it’s set to heat even it your unit hear is off and it’s warm out the apartments are hot. The window barely open so no breeze is possible.
