A suburban feel with with low-rise apartment complexes and single family homes. This neighborhood mixes students from Northwestern with working professionals in a quiet setting. Location wise, it sits right next to Downtown Evanston. You won't find much nightlife here, but it's not too far from downtown Chicago and the rent is cheaper.

This is a family-friendly neighborhood with many parks, stores, restaurants, and other small businesses. There are panhandlers in the neighborhood, but they generally don't cause many problems. The proximity to many forms of transportation is very convenient.

Located on Chicago Ave a little south of downtown Evanston. Directly across the street from Trader Joes and next to Jewel Osco. Starbucks across the street, plenty of small shops, dry cleaners, hardware store, bike shop, gas station, etc. Everything you need is very close by.

It feels very safe and social. The people are nice and there is a lot to do in the neighborhood. Parking might be somewhat difficult unless you go a couple blocks East into the residential area.

All of Evanston's grocery stores in one place - Trader Joe's, Jewel Osco, and both Whole Foods. A bit further from Kellogg but still convenient.

The neighborhood has a good number of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, and they aren't overcrowded by undergrad students. As soon as you step a block or two away from Chicago Ave, it is quiet and residential.
