Church Street Station

Amazing condo and excellent location in downtown Evanston. Right above 27 live, close to the Metra/CTA for easy access to Chicago. There's a bus that takes you right to the Jake, otherwise it's not a far walk or bike ride. Happy to show the place during DAK in case you're interested!

Industrial Chic - Nothing Like It!

It's been an awesome place to live, from the very unique look (exposed pipes and cement floor), expensive finishes (bamboo wallpaper and cool light fixtures) and huge layout. The building staff is very friendly and the 5th floor deck area is beautiful when it's nice enough to use it. There's a small gym, good enough for occasional workouts, but I wouldn't depend on it for a primary gym if you are a frequent exerciser. While we're close to outings at 27 live, the movie theater, some restaurants and steps from the metra and Davis L stop, the biggest drawback is that this building is a bit further from campus than some others. Still within a 15 minute walk, but not super convenient to pop back and forth to campus, especially during the coldest winter days. Overall, no regrets living here though!

Large 2 bedroom with relatively equal sized rooms

Amenities vary between the units in 1640 Maple dependent upon what the owner has done to each unit. That said, the building has some of the larger floor plans in Evanston for two bedrooms. As compared to the Optimas, the bedroom sizes are larger and more equitable for the most part, while it is nicer than 1500 Chicago. It's right above 27 Live which is great for Tuesday nights and across the street from the Metra and El trains for easy travel down to the city. It is a bit on the further side from the Jake and is about 15 minutes to campus when walking. Overall, a great spot for a pretty good price.

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.
