The Park Evanston charges higher rates than you could find elsewhere, but the location next to Whole Foods and a 10 minute walk to the Jake can't be beat. The gym is adequate and the social spaces are nice addition. Laundry in unit and large apartment space.

Park Evanston is in a prime location for Kellogg/Northwestern students and this convenience is one of the main draws. A very quick (8min) walk to the Jacobs building, next door to Whole Foods/Peets Coffee and within 5min walk of the beach, Metra and L, and great restaurants make it perfect. Also in-unit washer and dryers are so convenient as is the mail room downstairs with a dry-cleaning service. The building is very safe with a doorman and all of the apartments I've been in don't have any physical issues or drawbacks so you can always expect everything to work. The gym is a bit small but good enough for most workouts, pool only open for the first and last month of school essentially but otherwise there are few things to complain about. Since its a pretty safe, easy and nice apartment building it does come at a premium and can be a little costly depending on your expectations and number of roommates. In terms of expensiveness/newness the Sherman Plaza, 1717 Ridge and the Reserve are definitely fancier/newer/nicer but they will cost even more than the Park Evanston and the Reserve and 1717 Ridge are further from campus and not as close to everything in downtown Evanston.

Park Evanston is the best location in Evanston. So close to campus and right next to whole foods - can't be beat.

The Park Evanston is a convenient place to live for Kellogg students. It's close to many services (dry cleaners) and shops (Whole Foods, etc.) and is only a 10 minute walk from the Jacobs Center. Since the Park Evanston rents to many Kellogg students it's also a great place to meet and hangout with friends (especially in the winter months).

I really love the Park Evanston. It helps that I have an AMAZING view of Lake Michigan, as well as tons of natural light (those things make me happy). Can't beat being next door to Whole Foods, having a pretty nicely equipped gym, and being pretty close (~10 min walk) to the Jake. Only downsides are limited outside space (roof deck pool is closed in winter) and the price -- apartment isn't wildly expensive, but there are definitely less expensive places to live. But I REALLY like it here.

In my opinion it is the most convenient apartment in Evanston. It is an 8 minutes walk from the university, offers printing room, cleaning service, gym, etc. Great place to live.

Not a great value but location is great

The Park Evanston is a pretty run-of-the-mill high rise apartment complex. I think its biggest selling point is its location (under 10 minute walk to campus) and its size (I have plenty of space, plus an in-unit washer-dryer). The amenities are adequate, but nothing special - there is a gym in the building, but it's very small; there is a package service; and the appliances are pretty modern. The building has been very responsive when I've had issues, as well. My biggest gripe is they charge for everything - it's $50 if you lock yourself out of your apartment! But overall, I'm pretty happy with my living situation in Evanston.

Highly recommended, mainly for the location.

Building is overall great. Two bedroom apartment is a great size with a roommate. Plenty of room. But must be careful about which exact unit you rent as some sides of the building or levels are different (e.g. some don't get natural light). Also two bedroom comes with a washer and dryer in unit. But management can be a little inflexxible. And the doormen have interesting set of job duties that does not include opening the door. Also the package system is a little messed up. You can only receive packages when the dry clearner is open, but there is a staff that works all day.
