It’s great. My wife and I are both students and it’s in between campus and downtown Evanston. The location is convenient for class and hanging out. The included parking space is great for our car. The apt is small, but we don’t spend that much time in it.

Optima Horizons is a great building because there is a lot included in rent and it is about 50% Kellogg students. I met some of my closest friends through Optima Horizons. Since they are condos, if there is an issue with your apartment you have to reach out to your landlord which can be a pain. Our landlord is not always the most responsive but thankfully we have never had a big problem.

East-facing views are beautiful. Great value for money, and convenient to Downtown Evanston and Northwestern.

If you are not here during the summer, then a two year lease with no sub-lease is a negative. Also, no group study room.

But, other than that, love the property. A LOT of kellogg students here, and a generally quiet place. The apartments are beautiful too.

Happy at my apartment

Great building for students, does have a lot of rules though

We've been very happy with Optima Horizons. It's reasonably priced (given that internet, cable, water, gas, and a parking space is included), and very walkable to downtown Evanston, the Davis train station, and Kellogg hotspots. Many students live in the building as well. Having a front desk is also nice for deliveries and packages. It is dog friendly, although they don't really allow you to take your dog out anywhere on the property, which can be a pain. Our view of the sunset is fantastic.

Optima Horizons has a good mix of proximity to downtown and the Global Hub. There are a lot of Kellogg students who live in the building, which is great. I also love that my rent includes all utilities and 2 parking spaces, which really makes it a great deal.

The building itself is great. The amenities are awesome. And there are a lot of Kellogg students so you always run into friends in the halls. It feels incredibly safe. The doorpeople can be a little strict about noise and some of the older residents can be grumps but in general its a great spot to live and very easy to get to campus.

I have very satisfied about my choice. The condo is not the newest in town, yet it is kept very clean, management office is responsive and nice. Optima Horizon has made my transition very easy and efficient.
