Great value but basic accomodation

Hinman House (1516 Hinman Avenue) is a rather old building that management is doing a good job at maintaining but is still very basic. My studio is very spacious (400 sqf) but has not been renovated and hence has a very old style flavor to it. Windows in particular are old and do not provide good insulation. Otherwise neighbors are all very nice, there are no noise nor disturbances and the building manager is always here to help you.

Nice location

Great location, 10-15 minute walk to school. Downtown central Evanston, near Wholefoods, bars, and restaurants. 5 minute to LA Fitness. Wooden furnished furniture. 100% ready on move-in date. Available starting end of June. Great landlord who's a former Kellogg student. Great value. Triple M should definitely consider.

Huge apartment, good deal, very annoying management

Apartment is huge (everyone is always impressed by the size of our living room and master bedroom). Very good location in downtown Evanston and with the NU Shuttle Bus stop just around the corner. However, the management of the building is very annoying and we had several troubles/difficulties with them regarding move-in fees etc.

Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at E2 Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at John Evans Building
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Centrum Evanston
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!
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Albion Evanston
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at Optima Horizons
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).
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at 1454 Oak Ave
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.
