No complaints!

Clean, with every appliances working, warm during winters although central heating has to be complemented with additional heating in the peak of the winter. No pests. Responsive maintenance. I like the location because it's a good distance to walk in good weather and close to various bus stations including one that connects to the NU campus. Coin laundry is additional cost. Elevator is slow but better than not having one.

Great value

Overall I love this apartment. The building itself is old but the units are newly renovated. Management is great- very responsive and work orders are completed promptly. A bit far from Kellogg, but the value is better than most other buildings.

1575 Oak Ave 2 bedroom

In-unit parking is expensive and hard to use but those are my only real complaints. The location is the biggest plus and my unit itself is nice.

Decent apartment, mediocre building

The apartment overall is comparable in size and location to Kellogg vis-a-vis some of the pricier buildings. The cost is unbeatable. The building though is not as nice as the pricier buildings and management has not devoted enough resources to keeping the apartments up to date (old appliances, need for many maintenance requests). It's livable but I'm not sure whether we'd do it again.

1575 Oak Avenue, Apt 62 - 1 Bedroom Review

The management company is very responsive to maintenance requests and was also accommodating when it came to renewal.

Lots of space and natural light, not too expensive, kitchen is lacking

Small kitchen with outdated/low quality appliances. Lots of natural light from large windows. Laundry is coin operated in basement.

Affordable. Decent Size. Slightly Old. Far From Campus.

Good place if you're looking for something cheap. Lots of Kellogg people live here (but most are married couples). Decent size (~1K sqft) for two people. An old apartment but units are being slowly renovated - my unit received new flooring when we moved in which was nice and makes a huge difference.

Biggest downside is how far it is from campus. About 25-30 min walk. Recommend a bike or taking the bus.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

Downtown Evanston has everything you need. E2 is walkable to campus, a Target, and plenty of restaurants, as well as Metra and L stations to get to Chicago. Right across the street is a Subway, a Thai restaurant, and a pizza place, plus there’s a 7-Eleven about a block away, so you’re very close to options if you need food in a pinch.
Close to downtown Evanston but a bit far from E2/the reserve. One of closest apartments to Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Jewel Osco while also being close to campus. Very close to the lake!
Downtown Evanston has everything you need from a downtown including grocery stores, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Downtown Evanston is great - plenty of great food within walking distance, Metra and El trains right nearby, a really nice place to be. Only downside is it's far from school and the only truly walkable grocery store is a Whole Foods, which can get expensive. Overall, wouldn't want to live elsewhere though.
Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Very easy access to Lake Michigan as well!
There isn't much to do here, but that's true pretty much everywhere in Evanston. We're in walking distance to all of "downtown" Evanston, so restaurants / fast food / subway, etc. It's a slightly longer walk than desired to Kellogg, but that's fine.
The apartment is central to downtown and is walking distance to most bars, restaurants, shops, beach, etc. Evanston is a bit of a sleepy town (especially during the pandemic...I've been told it was much more vibrant pre-pandemic).
I live just south of the main downtown area, and it's the perfect intersection of being close to the action but also a bit removed when you want some quiet. I like being a in a more residential pocket, so there is slightly less foot traffic and really nice areas to walk around with a dog, etc.
