Average; quiet; hot

amazing location - short 20 min walk to Kellogg's Hub, next to whole foods, 7 blocks from Jewel/Trader Joe's, 3 blocks west of the lake and running trails, 8 minute walk to Davis L / Metra station; Great windows that take up the entire wall in bedroom and living room

value - started my lease earlier than school year so got a great deal at $1400/mo for 1B1B. Normal rent is around $1800 for 1B1B. Includes gym, sauna, and rooftop pool = these are hidden gems

BUT, there is no reason to pay that much for these outdated apartments - carpet, no in unit heat/cool control, 1960s kitchen - linoleum tiles and like plastic countertops. You should live at E2 or Optima Horizons for those prices

Parking - available but over $120/mo compared to the city of Evanston deck around the corner for $90/mo

Community - lots of Kellogg students and international undergrads

Big negatives - outdated units, universal AC/heat so building turns it on for the reason and you either sweat in the winter or freeze in the summer, paying utility bills when you can't control the AC/heat - even if you turn it off in your unit the building still has it on so you pay at least $50/mo for access + whatever your personal usage is too.

Big positive - location, potentially cheaper rent, maintenance is helpful and timely

excellent location and very spacious apartment. some issues with controlling heating in the winter but overall very responsive management and good property to live in.

Park Evanston is incredibly conveniently located -- about as close to the Kellogg Global Hub as you can get (15 minute fast walk) and near shops downtown. The AC/heat are centrally controlled, so sometimes it's a really hot inside in the winter. The facilities are fine; nothing is particularly nice (e.g., I have no drawers wide enough for a silverware tray), but everything is clean and works. I have had a good experience with all maintenance request so far. There's a package room, but you have to ask the front desk to let you in. Bike storage is pricey if you choose to use the storage room. Ample closet space. Under ten minutes walking to the L and Metra. 24/7 front door person, in a secure area.

5 mins from the CTA/ Metra
. 20 seconds from Whole foods
. On chicago avenue and in the middle of downtown evanston
. Gated with a 24x7 doorman
. Has laundry/ washer in the apartment
. Modern style apartment with a massive dishwasher and fridge
. LOTS and LOTS of closet space
. Massive french style windows - so a lot of natural sunlight, a must for the winter!

I love the location of Park Evanston. I can walk to Trader Joe's and it's right above a Whole Foods. It's also in the middle of downtown Evanston. The windows in Park Evanston are great and I have a beautiful view of the lake and campus. But this is an expensive place to live given that the kitchen is dated and I don't have hardwood floors. The management is hard to work with and the pool is closed most of the time.

Great location, non-responsive management. Decent bang for buck.

Great place to live; close to campus and downtown, and conveniently located next to Whole Foods. Biggest issue is that the thermostats aren't always responsive so it can get very hot in the unit.

Great apartment -- great location, good layout, awesome views. One of the better apartment gyms in Evanston.
Management is fairly unresponsive. Apartment is very hot.

Apartment is great minus a few complaints. The management isn't the best (aka non-responsive and not willing to help) and you cannot control the heat/AC. Otherwise, I've enjoyed my living situation.
