I love my apartment for the beautiful view and the giant windows. The complex also has a decent gym and is conveniently located next to Whole Foods. The master bedroom & closet are big, which is very nice.

However, it has many issues, unfortunately. It is not as nice as E2 or Albion, so it should not cost as much.

The package room does not work well - they never notify you if you have a package, so plan to track them yourself. It is an old building with renovations that look nice (ie newer appliances), but misses some important things. Most notably, there is no fan in the bathrooms, there is no garbage disposal, there are few ceiling fixtures (no ceiling fan / light in the living room or bedrooms, only a ceiling light in the kitchen), and the sink has square corners (where you cannot get them clean).

The temperature control is on an old system: no digital temperature display and the whole building switches from A/C to heat together, so hopefully you agree with the timing. In the winter, the leaking heat seems to come into my room even with the thermostat off, so I often end up opening my windows on occasion.

Since we have a two bedroom unit we have in-unit laundry (1 bedrooms don'e), but it was just put in an old closet which does not have ventilation, so it does not dry very well.

Great location and apartment condition

Park Evanston is one of the closest buildings to the hub, something you appreciate most on the coldest days. Units are relatively large for the price and renovated units have nice finishes. No in-unit washer/dryer in Studios or 1beds.

close to Wholefood , quite new furniture

This is a great apartment building; the location is great, the common areas of the building are really nice and easy to find a space in, and the rooftop view is spectacular. Only trouble is a very strict property management co - but after moving in, you don't really need to deal with them.

Park Evanston is the best location with incredible views. One beds don't have laundry in-unit (1.5 and above do), but it has been worth it for us. The laundry in the building is always empty, clean, and easy to use. Our apartment is only 600 sq ft, but it's laid out very efficiently and feels bigger than some of the E2 units I've seen. The gym is also great and usually pretty quiet. Been a great experience thus far!

Very nice building with a decent sized gym. Management and maintenance are very responsive. Only downside is other residents get very upset if you are being loud.

I have always been surprised by why more Kellogg students do not live in Park Evanston. It is in a great location, good value, and newly renovated amenities including a decent gym and pool space. Most apartments are newly renovated as well.

Great for couples

Park Evanston is a great location close to everything in downtown Evanston and a very easy walk to Kellogg. The amenities in the building are great, the management is really friendly and the apartments are all recently renovated. The main issue I've experienced is that they shut off the A/C around October and because of all of the sun on the building and the lack of ability to open windows beyond a few inches cracked, certain apartments get very overheated.
