Huge space. Standard quality. A bit old. Good heating in winter. Convenient locarion.

It's the best building you'll find for such a price. Building is not new, but the apartment is in great condition, greatly localized, and the staff is very nice.

Pros: Apartments are spacious, carpeted throughout, with decent appliances. Apartments are really quiet - can hardly hear roommates let along neighbors. Huge windows with lots of natural light. Northwestern Intercampus Shuttle stops right outside the building.
Cons: Plumbing is old so you occasionally run into slow drainage issues. Central air so you don't directly control your heat.

Pretty cheap if you compare to other buildings in Evanston. The apartment is nice (loads of natural light pouring in!) and very very spacious. Never cold in the winter and well air-conditioned in the summer. Only bummer is that no pets are allowed. There are a lot of Kellogg people in the building.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to rent at 1500 Chicago Ave. during my two years in grad school at Kellogg. My 1BR/1BA is very spacious, has a lot of natural light, and costs significantly less than the apartments in the newer buildings in the Evanston neighborhood. In addition, management here is wonderful. Any maintenance request I submit is answered in a matter of hours, and all the common areas are spotless and well-maintained. Lastly, the location is pretty ideal. While about a mile from the Kellogg Hub, it is close to grocery stores and coffee shops in downtown Evanston.

I love living at 1500 Chicago - big space, lots of natural light, one of the closest buildings to the Hub in downtown Evanston. Great price for a single place, definitely larger than most one bedrooms I saw elsewhere for ~$500 less per month. Older building, but gym and laundry room are clean and well-lit. Does not have as many Kellogg students as some of the newer buildings, so less socializing in-building.

The building is a bit older than other options, however the plant is big, and maintenance is great - we never had any problems.
Location is excellent, 18min walk to Kellogg, 5 to Whole Foods, 10 to Jewel Osco and Trader Joes, close to all restaurants downtown.
It has a small gym (treadmills only). Very warm during winter.
Overall, don't expect the modern feel of the newer (more expensive) options, but if you're looking for a great bang for your buck, this is the best option in Evanston (that I could find, at least).

Close to all the shops and bars in Evanston. A bit dated but quiet and one of the less expensive options for Kellogg students.

Solid place

Affordable price with responsive staffs
