Spacious and best value of all the apartments
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.

Great Value, Great Management
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.

Excellent value, great location, and great community
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!

Cozy efficient unit
Small and inexpensive studio apartment. Not great for entertaining, but livable and clean. The windows are drafty in the winter when the wind chill is below zero. I had to set up window insulation. Building managers are generally nice, aside from the $25 lockout fee during off hours.

Perfectly nice apartment building
Nothing really bad to say about this place. It's got all the basic amenities for a reasonable price. There are a lot of other Kellogg students in the building so you're constantly running into people you know. All in all, no complaints.

Cheap and cheerful (while still well-maintained)
Lots of Kellogg students live in the building; close to campus (~15 minute walk). Has all the basics of what you need and focus of benefits are value for money - i.e. it's not a brand new luxury flat, but clean and "does the job".

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