No control over room temperature

A/C is switched in spring and fall and cannot control the temperature so it is too hot and sweaty in the fall and sometimes winter and spring.

Overall positive but expensive experience

Pros:
Feel very safe inside, walking to/from, walking outside building.
The closest you can get to campus.
Nice, very spacious apartment. Nice hardwood floors.
Conveniently close to downtown and restaurants, including whole foods if need quick groceries.
Management is nice and quick to reply emails.

Cons:
Utilities are incredibly expensive. I have never heard of anything like this. You are charged you a flat fee (can be up to if not more than $150) for just AC/heat based on your square footage, not your use. You still have to set up electricity separately for the rest.
No in-unit laundry but laundry rooms on every floor. Laundry costs add up but consistent with other apartment complexes ($2-2.25 per wash/dry). Also, inconvenient that you can't reload laundry card through the app - have to use cash and caps you at how much you can load at a time.
Appliances are relatively updated but not the best.
Limited temperature control (heating/cooling turned off during off season, only low/med/high options).
Walls are pretty thin. Can hear tv/podcasts from hallway, people talking from apartment next door.

Great Value

A great value apartment— only a 15 minute walk from the hub and spacious. Small gym in the building, and an outdoor pool and grill area that is great for summer.

Evanston Place

The apartment has a nice pool area, an office space to work and print, and is in a phenomenal location. It’s a mix of some grad students, undergrads, and older families so it’s quiet. Quick walk to campus and the places you need in downtown Evanston

Closest to hub, spacious apartments, nice outdoor spaces

This place has been a great home base for Kellogg. Space is much bigger than the average Evanston apartments for comparable price. My unit has an outdoor space which I love. Some finishes are out of date, but still nice!

Location

Good thing: Evanston Place has a good location, which is 12 mins walk to the MFC building. They allow pets(with fees), and they just newly constructed.
Bad thing: The overpriced rent, small gym(couple running machines), prolonged response from the office(bad management). The apartments facing Chicago Ave. is terrible because not much sun received and the extreme noise level (whole night).

Expensive but close

The location is what convinced us and it has been very practical to be so close to the university, everyday shopping and social gatherings. The renovated apartments are very nice and we have only had minor maintenance issues so far, but do not expect everything to be new. It is expensive, there is no way around that. I look out towards the lake every time I remember how much we are paying to feel better about it.

Bike racks are always crowded and they have not delivered on their promise to remove unused bikes. Cannot talk about the amenities because I have only used the tech room (always freezing).

About Downtown Evanston

Since it's home to Northwestern, Downtown Evanston is the most popular residential area for Kellogg students. Most apartment buildings in Downtown Evanston are a 20 minute walk from the Donald P.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

546 reviews
Lots of apartments and family homes in the area. I always see someone riding their bike or walking throughout the day. It's a block from the police station, and only 2-3 blocks to downtown. Close to intercampus shuttle, 201 bus stop (3 blocks), and Dempster purple line (1.5 blocks). Nice area to live, quiet at night.
Downtown Evanston is a great place to live if you're a NU student. It's super easy to get to campus via either walking or the bus, and has convenient groceries within walking distance. The food scene is not the best, but good enough.
Evanston is the epitome of a college town, everything you need and most of what you want is within a 10 minute walk.
I really enjoy living in downtown Evanston. Everything that I need is within walking distance, and it is a 10-15 minute walk to my classes.
Safe, walkable area, even late at night depending on the streets you take. Great for convenience in terms of getting to campus, no car needed, access to many public transit options. You lose out in terms of cheap food options and fun nightlife - there are only a couple of bars open after 9PM on the weekends and for cheap food you're stuck with Chipotle or at best Tomate. But the lake and beach are within walking distance and you live close to other NU students making it well worth it for me.
Evanston really is a nice town. There's loads of food, both chains and otherwise, and a number of shops and things if you don't mind moving around a little. Driving in the greater Evanston area is not a lot of fun, I will say. I get the sense that the city doesn't much like the University and its constituents, and that the students don't always respect the city. It's not a perfect relationship, but it works. I can easily walk or take transit to class on the Evanston campus, and when I have class in Chicago I take transit, which usually takes more than an hour in the morning and close to an hour coming home.
Downtown Evanston is super cute! There are tons of restaurants and a handful of bars so I find that it offers a good bit of variety for the neighborhood size. There are street festivals, a great farmers market, summer concerts in the square and other community events I've enjoyed. Would highly recommend Evanston anyone who wants access to the city but a self-sufficient "urban burb" type neighborhood.
Pros: Great location near key Kellogg hangouts like World of Beer, Nevins, Five and Dime, Prairie Moon, etc. Also convenient to Bennison's Bakery! Great for late nights- can get home in < 5 minutes without ubering. Also near both Metra and L- ideal if you plan to spend some of your time in downtown Chicago.

Cons: Long walk from the Global hub. Closest grocery store is Whole Foods, a bit of a hike to TJ's and Jewel.
