Great location relative to both campus and bars/restaurants. Nice apartments. Safe.

Optima Horizons is one of the closer residence buildings to Northwestern University campus. Other pros include floor to ceiling windows, great views on the upper floors, communicative reception & management, generally nice amenities, and safety. However, the gym could be larger and include more equipment & weights.

Its great option for Kellogg students as its close to Jake, restaurants and public transport.

I think Optima Horizons is the closest apartment complex to the Jake, which is super convenient. Our apartment is beautiful: floor to ceiling windows and very modernized and new appliances. Washer/dryer in the unit. There is a little gym in the complex as well as a patio with grills that we can use when it's warmer out. There's an indoor pool and hot tub, and a big party room we can rent out for $50. The building is a mix of Kellogg students and old people, which is kind of strange but weirdly works out very well. They are strict on no subletting, and are lacking any common space for group meetings, but I couldn't be happier with my choice to live here!

Tons of space and great amenities for the price. Management is friendly and location is ideal. No complaints!

Because this is a condo building, each unit varies in terms of the build-out (i.e. wood-floor, upgraded counters, etc.). Additionally, some units have more control over their A/C through a thermostat, where others (including ours) have more of an on/off switch for air-control. The building has front-desk security to accept packages which is fantastic, and they staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Rent can vary from one unit to another as these are condos and the majority seem to be independently owned. Also, the Davis street station for the L and Metra are both within a 5 minute walk.

Has everything I want (e.g. dishwasher, in unit washer dryer, large rooms, doorperson, parking). Very close to downtown. About a 10-15 minute walk to the Jake, which will probably be about a 20 minute walk to the new building. A bit expensive, but you do get a lot for it. Very close to Davis metra and CTA stops. Small gym and pool in the building. Lots of Kellogg in the building, but it doesn't feel like a party dorm.

I highly recommend on the place for people who are looking after quiet building with relatively spacious apartments

Great location close to the Jake and downtown Evanston. A little far from the Trader Joe's and Jewel Osco, but Whole Foods is close enough. Having laundry in-unit is great. The gym is pretty decent, but does get pretty crowded at times.

Great space. Very convenient. Excellent management/amenities
