Definitely not a fancy building, no amenities at all, but spacious apartments with decent rent.

Love my studio at 1500 Chicago, which is spacious, sunny and clean. The only thing I dislike is the carpet, but that is also clean and new. The location is convenient and management is responsive and reliable. In general, a great place to live!

I moved here with my wife and daughter from LA and brought all my stuff with me. This is the only apartment that could fit all my stuff, without having to throw anything out. The bedroom is huge; we have a queen bed, a crib, a chest, and an end-table but it still has a lot of space to walk around. The living room easily takes our 3+2 sofa set and a dining table in the corner. The kitchen is average sized, fits our basic needs, and includes a dishwasher, which was important for us. Extra storage provided downstairs. The unit does not have a washer/dryer within, but the building has a common laundry place on the ground floor, which is convenient enough. The building does not have any conference rooms, gym or swimming pool, which the more expensive places do have. The management is pretty responsive to any complaints we have. It is a 12 minute walk to the Jake. The building is filled with Kellogg students and we keep running into each other everytime we step out, so you will not miss the social aspect of the school at all. Also, it is only a 4-5 min walk to McManus in case you want to print something out or meet people. I would recommend it for anyone with a family or even single people who want to share an apartment.

We downsized from a 2 bedroom when we moved to Evanston. So, we were definitely looking for a place that gave us as much space and storage as possible. 1500 Chicago offers great, up to date spaces and truly amazing management. I highly recommend it to any incoming student.

Pros: large apartments for the rent and the building is centrally located between bars and grocery stores. Also, the building has parking.

Cons: no amenities and the carpet is rather dated.

Big living room, kitchen, closets, 2 big bedrooms + 2 bathrooms! This double is south-facing, so we get excellent light. I have several classmates in this building and we do get togethers, casual wine nights, potlucks, and game nights. The building is mostly Kellogg students + elderly Evanston permanent residents.

15 minute walk from the Jacobs center (Kellogg at Northwestern), the building is located in the heart of downtown Evanston. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Jewel Osco within 10 mins walk. Multiple bars, gyms, food establishments, CVS, etc. within a 10 minute radius.

Overall, I've had a good experience living in 1500 Chicago.
Pros: Many students from Kellogg, Location in terms of downtown evanston, value for money
Cons: Too hot and not very well ventilated, somewhat further away from Kellogg than most other buildings (I wish I would have picked Park Evanston)

1500 Chicago Apts are spacious and close to downown Evanston

Great value for a good apartment building. Great location, large rooms, but not many amenitieis and not hte most social environment

I used to live in Boston, and this building will exceed the expectations of anyone who's used to living in older city apartment buildings. I share a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with a roommate, and we have a spacious living room and plenty of closet/storage space. I love the natural light through the huge windows. The kitchen is small, but has all you would need, including a dishwasher. Location is great, right in downtown Evanston, and just a 10-12 minute walk to NU. Management company is responsive and helpful.
Although there are not fancy amenities, the basics are perfectly fine, so the overall value of this apartment is excellent. Great Kellogg community in the building as well!
