Evanston Galleria has been a nice place to live and I love the high ceilings, but it's on the pricier end and could certainly use some renovating

Apartment is very spacious with great living area
Landlord is not in Chicago/Evanston/nearby and building management / handy man isn't responsive or good

Galleria has a lot of Kellogg students in one of the best locations in town. Easy access to all the bars and restaurants Evanston has to offer, but it's pretty quiet in general. It's a loft style building, so you get high ceilings and large windows. All units are recently updated with modern apliances. However, there's no common space to hang out in or fancy amenities if those things are important to you, and the rent here is on the more expensive end. Having said that, I've really enjoyed living here so far.

Expensive but worth the price.

Large loft-style condo in a perfect downtown Evanston location for the Kellogg student. Great kitchen with new appliances and granite counters / bar. Landlord is very easy to work with. Love the building, which is an historical Marshall Fields department store that was renovated into 14-foot ceiling lofts. Many Kellogg friends throughout the building -- only ~40-50 units in building so can be tough to find a condo available for rent.

The Evanston Galleria is a really excellent place to live while attending Kellogg. I have access to all the restaurants and bars, as well as a quick 2 minute walk to the El and Metra stops. Also, the walk to the Jacobs' Center is just 10-12 minutes. Whole Foods is just 2 blocks away, which makes picking up some quick groceries very easy. There are a lot of Kellogg folks who live in the building, as well as some local residents, which makes for a nice community. It is a very dog and pet friendly building, as well. Additionally, LA Fitness and Evanston Athletic Club are each about a 1-2 minute walk away, so this makes going to the gym very easy in the winter months. One thing to note is that it is one of the pricer places to live, but I think it is worth the money. Overall I am extremely happy with my choice to live at the Evanston Galleria.

Pros: Beautiful apartment with hardwood floors, crown molding, nice fixture & appliances, etc. Elevator building. Nice lobby. Cannot beat the location! Lots of Kellogg people live here and more moved in after the 1st year. My apartment is a good value because it faces the back and doesn't get a lot of light.
Cons: Lack of common space, gym, pool, rooftop, etc. Historic building, but old, so can cause some problems.

Best spot in central evanston. Well made building. Great tenants

Both my roommate and I feel lucky to have found this apartment. It's got plenty of light, is in the best location and we have the nicest landlady.

Large, sunny 1 BR corner unit in Evanston Galleria overlooking intersection of Church and Sherman. Hardwood floors, high ceiling, big living room, and big windows make it great for hosting dinners and parties. Parking included.
