Place to Live, Not Play

Sherman Plaza will probably never be the place you go for a large party, and that's great. It's close to everywhere you need to go: right in the center of town and practically on top of the bus and rail stops - perfect for JVs. The building has a nice mix of Kellogg students and others so it doesn't have the dorm feel of other residences. It's quiet and the staff are lovely. It lacks some of the amenities of an E2, but you can get to LA Fitness without going outside. That gym is never full, has multiple rooms and a pool, and has a special deal (~$20/month) for Kellogg students and significant others.

Love Sherman Plaza

Nicest condo building in Evanston. Sherman Plaza has 24/7 Security and provides access to LA Fitness from inside the building (without going outside). The staff and service are great and our landlord is a pleasure to work with!

Quiet, spacious, easy access to campus and downtown

The best thing about this loft-style 2BR/2BA is its location - right next to the Davis St. Metra and Purple Line stations, which has allowed me to walk to campus and my husband to take the train to work. With bars, restaurants, a movie theater, and shops all within walking distance, we really only use our car for grocery shopping. The condo is very pretty - hardwood floors, granite counter-tops, floor-to-ceiling windows, and industrial exposed duct work and concrete ceilings. Because it's a loft, one of the bedrooms is not fully enclosed (and doesn't have a window), which might make it tough to share this place with a roommate. We've actually chosen to sleep in the 2nd bedroom rather than the master because it's away from the street and therefore quiet and pitch-dark (best sleep of my life). We have used the sunny master as our office and guest room. The front-desk staff are so friendly and have really added to our quality of life. They learned our names right away, sign for packages, give our spare key to the cat sitter when we're out of town, and also make the building feel more secure. Other amenities include a community room (on our floor - great for group study sessions), a bike room with direct elevator access, and an internal (snowless! not-freezing!) entrance to the LA Fitness (membership costs extra, but we agreed to pay in advance for 2 years, so it came out to about $20-$25/person/month). One less-than-ideal element is that our parking spot is on the 9th floor of the garage while our apartment is on the 3rd floor of the building, so it's a little cumbersome to get the car out. The rent is steep (and my landlord isn't easy to negotiate with, thus the management score), but the unit has been perfect. Highly recommended.

Great location!

Sherman plaza is located at the center of downtown Evanston. It is quite convenient to reach any restaurants, bars, and other amenities including gym (LA fitness) in Evanston. It takes just approx. 15 mins by walk to Jacobs, also school shuttle bus stop is right at the front of the building.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

546 reviews
Lots of apartments and family homes in the area. I always see someone riding their bike or walking throughout the day. It's a block from the police station, and only 2-3 blocks to downtown. Close to intercampus shuttle, 201 bus stop (3 blocks), and Dempster purple line (1.5 blocks). Nice area to live, quiet at night.
Downtown Evanston is a great place to live if you're a NU student. It's super easy to get to campus via either walking or the bus, and has convenient groceries within walking distance. The food scene is not the best, but good enough.
Evanston is the epitome of a college town, everything you need and most of what you want is within a 10 minute walk.
I really enjoy living in downtown Evanston. Everything that I need is within walking distance, and it is a 10-15 minute walk to my classes.
Safe, walkable area, even late at night depending on the streets you take. Great for convenience in terms of getting to campus, no car needed, access to many public transit options. You lose out in terms of cheap food options and fun nightlife - there are only a couple of bars open after 9PM on the weekends and for cheap food you're stuck with Chipotle or at best Tomate. But the lake and beach are within walking distance and you live close to other NU students making it well worth it for me.
Evanston really is a nice town. There's loads of food, both chains and otherwise, and a number of shops and things if you don't mind moving around a little. Driving in the greater Evanston area is not a lot of fun, I will say. I get the sense that the city doesn't much like the University and its constituents, and that the students don't always respect the city. It's not a perfect relationship, but it works. I can easily walk or take transit to class on the Evanston campus, and when I have class in Chicago I take transit, which usually takes more than an hour in the morning and close to an hour coming home.
Downtown Evanston is super cute! There are tons of restaurants and a handful of bars so I find that it offers a good bit of variety for the neighborhood size. There are street festivals, a great farmers market, summer concerts in the square and other community events I've enjoyed. Would highly recommend Evanston anyone who wants access to the city but a self-sufficient "urban burb" type neighborhood.
Pros: Great location near key Kellogg hangouts like World of Beer, Nevins, Five and Dime, Prairie Moon, etc. Also convenient to Bennison's Bakery! Great for late nights- can get home in < 5 minutes without ubering. Also near both Metra and L- ideal if you plan to spend some of your time in downtown Chicago.

Cons: Long walk from the Global hub. Closest grocery store is Whole Foods, a bit of a hike to TJ's and Jewel.
