Great place to live, management can be a bit difficult. Owners and students sometimes have rough relations (but honestly, it's a college town - you should have known what you were getting).

Great location, decent price (for Evanston - still pricier than equivalent properties downtown). Each unit varies noticeably, so make sure to tour your unit before signing a lease.

Great place to live if you go to Kellogg.

Nice building; we had a carpeted unit we liked; location ideal.

This building is very close to campus and McManus. 10 minute walk at most to the Jacobs center. Rent includes water, heating, basic cable, and most everything else except for internet and electricity. Heating and air conditioning works rather well, so no need for extra heating/cooling devices. Laundry and driers are in every unit. There is a person at the front desk from early morning to about 11:30pm on weekdays and 24hrs on weekends. They take care of deliveries so no worry of missing a package. Parking garage is indoors and in the same building, so you can get from car to unit in one elevator ride(unlike many other expensive buildings!) Also, garage is warm even in the cold winter. We have a rather small indoor swimming pool that has warm water so great for kids to play in all year round. Also a small hot tub for parents to relax in. Small exercise room and individual storage room also available.
Every unit has a different structure, so it is good to find floor plans for each unit you are interested in. Half of the units face the lake, while the other half faces railroads. Half of the units facing the lake might have blocked views of the lake due to another adjacent building.

Dave, our landlord, is also amazing and has been incredibly responsive and helpful.

Great condo building with a lot of Kellogg students. Great location. Only pain comes from approx 1/2 of the building not being Kellogg students and occasional misalignment between Kelloggers and longer-term residents.

Great location - central to downtown Evanston and 9 minutes from Jake. Building is a condo, so rent from owner. Beautiful view - try to get the #XX09 units if possible. 24 Hr doorman is helpful for packages, and parking garage is covered. Prices are a bit more expensive, but not as much as some of the newer condos more far away.

I think Optima Horizons is the most ideal place for a Kellogg student to stay. It's right next to downtown Evanston and 8 minutes walking distance from the Jake. The management is good and the front desk personnel are extremely nice. Covered parking is also a big plus.

Opitma Horizons is close to the Jake and has a ton of Kellogg students. Highly recommended.
