Great Apartment! A little far from campus

3-story walk up building on a quaint, residential neighborhood a little south of downtown Evanston. Close to Trader Joe's and the Dempster L train station... a little bit a hike from campus

1414 Elmwood

Pros: The apartment has an in unit washer and dryer with a large living room and decently sized dining room. Lots of counter space, cabinet space, and closet space. We have one parking space (included in rent). The master bedroom has the bathroom inside of the room, and the second bathroom is located outside of the bedroom. We also have a storage unit on the first floor (included in rent).

Cons: Street parking is limited to two hours (unless you have a city zone permit). The unit is mainly comprised of wood floors, and therefore, there is lots of squeaking from the floors.

Distance from complex to:
- Dempster L train (5 minutes)
- Davis L train or Metra (5 minutes)
- Downtown Evanston (5 minutes)
- 201 bus route Church and Maple stop (8 minutes)
- Trader Joes or Jewel Osco (10 minutes)
- McManus or Whole Foods (10 minutes)
- Kellogg (25 minutes)

Great value, but a little far

The apartment is great - it is updated and an amazing value for what we pay. The distance from downtown Evanston is fairly reasonable and walkable in the warm weather. However, the distance from campus (1.1miles) is not ideal, especially in the winter.

Condo near Nevins

About 1 mile from campus, small building with nice neighbors. Dogs over 35 lbs allowed!

Hardwood floors, new kitchens, washer/dryer, good closet space. We're very happy with it - took us 2 months to find a reasonable place that would accept big dogs!

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.
