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

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

Great apartment for living alone!

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

I love living at 1500 Chicago because you get a great amount of space and cleanliness for your money. The apartments are not new (many are carpeted), but are very well maintained. I was pleasantly surprised by how well maintained the bathroom is, and that the kitchen has up to date appliances. In addition, I constantly see the staff of the building repairing, maintaining, cleaning both individual apartments and the building as a whole.

1500 is just a 20 minute walk to campus, similar to other apartment buildings. While it's not near the west of campus where many Kellogg students live, it is very close to Whole Foods and Trader Joes!

The building is a bit older than E2, the Optimas, and other popular options, but the apartments are larger and it's definitely a better value. Easy walking distance from Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, the Hub, the CTA, and other apartment buildings. There's a gym in the building although it's nothing amazing.

Good management but limited facilities
