I like 1500 Chicago Ave. Its warm, spacious, and well managed. Its super outdated, however, without the charm of other buildings in Evanston.

1500 Chicago is great. The building is impeccably managed and cleaned, and offers spacious rooms for a really low price compared to the rest of Evanston. The location is perfect right by the shuttle and in the center of downtown Evanston. It’s right next to a park. In the winter, its always warm and cozy due to the induction heating. It has a bike room and a gym. The walls are so soundproof, I’ve literally never heard my next door neighbors (including the one with a newborn and toddler). I love it!

I can't overstate how happy I am with my apartment/building. The apartment is spacious and perfect for hosting SGDs. Everyone that comes over comments on how nice it is.

The building is a little dated, but kept up really well. Maintenance staff are incredibly proactive about cleaning and maintenance. Danny responds to maintenance requests almost instantly.

The rent is a fraction of what people are paying in the more popular buildings.

We're right across the street from a park and just a few blocks from Trader Joe's and Jewell.

The apartment has a lot of good qualities. It is close to the campus and the purple line, its quiet, its clean, and the maintenance staff is very responsive. I have never had to wait more than 24 hours to get any issue fixed. The one downside is it is a little expensive.

I quite enjoy living at 1500 Chicago - my only complaint is the water pressure in the shower can be a little weak.

Spacious rooms with large closets make living here quite enjoyable. A good value for people who are looking to live downtown without spending an arm and a leg. Small gym and large sunroof round out the amenities.

Very responsive management - I've had all my issues taken care of within a day.

Really spacious for an amazing price. Walking distance to Whole Foods and downtown Evanston.

The room is more spacious than other apartment in Evanston

The rent is among the cheapest

I love my room. It’s cozy!

However, the building is old and there is less fancy elements than other apartments

Great apartment for living alone!

Upside - Rent is one of the most competitive, location is great (close to Northwestern, supermarket, lakefront), area/space is big (room, living room), gym is small but very decent, there is staff onsite everyday most of the time who make sure things are in conditions and everything clean

Downside is the building is quite old, the bathroom and kitchen are OK but there is no stove exhaust, for example

Slightly older, but newly renovated kitchen and very spacious 1 bed/1 bath. Great value.
