Overall I have had a pretty good experience in the Park Evanston. The building is centrally located in downtown Evanston so it is easy to walk to all the nearby bars and restaurants. It is a bit farther than ideal to walk to the Hub (~15-18 min) but you can get there faster on a bike. The building is a bit older than others in the area but the apartments are fairly large and well kept. The heat and air conditioning alternate (only one can be on at a time) so it can get pretty hot at transition periods but in general it is pretty easy to keep a comfortable temperature most of the year. The building is very responsive if you every need something fixed, usually coming that day or the next to fix it. Parking is convenient but expensive ($135/month for a covered spot). There is a nice workout room and rooftop pool + a study/lounge room on the ground floor. The door staff is great and very helpful for signing for packages.

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.

Location right next to Whole Foods is great. Management is not responsive and apartment often has temperature control issues.

Excellent location
. Management is super friendly and helpful

The apartment has an excellent location, has great views if you are above the 12th floor.
However, the way they charge you for heating and cooling is sketchy. In your apartment, you can only have ac or heating, and heating is the only option from october to may. You cannot completely turn off the heat, so most of the time it's really, really hot inside. If this wasn't enough, they charge you for heating based on a pro rated form, so you might end up paying up to 200$ of heating, even if you are not using it and it's disgustigly hot inside. Oh and management is also rude and not willing to cooperate on anything regarding the temperature.

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.
