Great New Apartment
Beautiful apartments, convenient to downtown Evanston and trains to downtown. Love living here (been here for 1.5 years). Only complaint is there is no on-site parking. A little further from the global hub than some other buildings with similar amenities.

Good amenities, good Kellogg community
Not cheap and doesn't have the same charm as some of the smaller buildings -- but lower-key than E2, with tons of Kellogg students. Appliances are nice, gym is nice, rooms are all new so still in good shape. Floors collect a little more dust for some reason, but relatively minor complaint.
Far from the Global Hub, but so far that hasn't been an issue. (There's always people splitting Ubers on the slack channel.) If you want to go into Chicago, it's nice to be right by the train lines.

Great but pricey
Overall a good apartment but overpriced for what is offered. I am sure there are options in broader Evanston that offer better value but between the popular Kellogg apartments (Centrum, E2, Galleria, McManus) Centrum might be the best.

Brand New
Centrum is brand new and I was the first one to live in my brand new apartment. I really like the building a lot and the amenities provided and have not had any issues with appliances or other maintenance items. The one big letdown is that they do not have a 24 hour member on site like some of the other apartment complexes in Evanston. It is also next to the train tracks and although the windows are very soundproof, the summer days with the window open is not ideal.

Great apartment building for students and commuters!
Centrum has been a great choice for me and my non-student husband who commutes downtown for work. While slightly further from the hub than other properties, it's super convenient to most everything else downtown and is a great building. The in-unit laundry, rooftop common space, gym and Klub rooms were selling points for us and have been great amenities. I like that this isn't a huge complex and it doesn't feel like just an extension of Kellogg as I think E2 often can. Management has been responsive when I need something addressed. I love the butterfly system at the front door where guests can call you to be let up or you can send them a key / pin in advance - this is a million times better than E2 west where someone has to physically let you in and up the elevator.
My only few complaints are 1.) if facing toward the lake, the blinds are completely ineffective at blocking out summer sunlight - you're blinded every morning by the sun. Sunsets on the opposite side of the building, however are amazing! 2.) During AC season the AC is either on or off at a particular temperature, you can't set it to auto where it shuts off when it reached your set temperature. It's kind of annoying to have to manually adjust it. 3.) Parking is a 5 minute walk which is less convenient than it being closer. There is a public lot in the back of the building with a loading/unloading space for residents but it's almost always full.

All you need with modern style
The units decor is modern, spacious. Gym is amazing. You also have other automatic utilities like luxer.one, pressbox and butterfly which makes life easier.

It's a bit pricey but it's a great place and it has study rooms which are very helpful

Very good building, but expensive
The units are very spacious for a 1-bedroom apartment, the rooftop is great for small and big parties and the gym is also very good. The only downsides are the lack of swimming pool nad the price, which is pretty much aligned with E2 and more expensive than the majority of other buildings in the town.
In comparison to E2, I`d definitely pick Centrum just because it is a smaller building so you don`t see parties in the common area every day.

Best apartment building (but quite expensive)
Newest apartment building in Evanston, with brand new apartments.
Much smaller and quieter than E2 (which is a positive for me).
Management seems to be responsive.
Nice amenities and common areas (gym, study rooms and terrace).
Right next to the Metra and CTA Purple line.
Next to Downtown Evanston.
Furthest building (out of the more common Kellogg residences) from the Hub (but only by a few minutes).
Quite expensive.

Cons: Long walk from the Global hub. Closest grocery store is Whole Foods, a bit of a hike to TJ's and Jewel.
