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
Downtown Evanston has everything you need. E2 is walkable to campus, a Target, and plenty of restaurants, as well as Metra and L stations to get to Chicago. Right across the street is a Subway, a Thai restaurant, and a pizza place, plus there’s a 7-Eleven about a block away, so you’re very close to options if you need food in a pinch.
Perfect for grad school at Northwestern, but otherwise feels a bit suburban without a booming downtown. There are some good food/bar options, but also a handful of abandoned/empty retail locations -- I'm hoping that means new coffee shops/food venues are coming, but it doesn't look like it just yet.
All in all ideal downtown Evanston location. Very convenient for public transportation to Chicago, next door to local favorite Bennison's (love the late night smell of donuts baking), and walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, and stores. Once the Target goes up by Sherman Plaza and we have an alternative to Whole Foods close by this will be perfect.
McManus is located right next to Evanston downtown, so everything (restaurants, bars, groceries) is very close by. It's also right next to Northwestern campus (~15-18 minutes to Kellogg Global Hub by foot), which helps quite a lot, esp. in the winter when you'd want to keep your commute as short as possible.
There's plenty to do, but it still takes some effort to get downtown. If you want the quickest ride (metra), then you have to plan ahead and deal with the (infrequent) train schedule. The purple line only runs express during rush hour. Depending on the time of day, your commute can run 20 minutes to an hour and a half.
I would 100% live in Evanston when choosing where to live for my time at Kellogg. There are plenty of amenities of all sorts - everything from two (!) Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's to amazing restaurants (Stained Glass, Boltwood, Found) and quick joints (Freshii, Cozy, Blaze, Cheesie's, etc.) to good bars ranging from dive-y (Bat 17) to more upscale (Bangers & Lace) to great retail, workout options (barre, boxing, and regular gyms), salons, and handy storefronts like hardware, cleaners, etc. Feels like home very quickly!
I live just south of the main downtown area, and it's the perfect intersection of being close to the action but also a bit removed when you want some quiet. I like being a in a more residential pocket, so there is slightly less foot traffic and really nice areas to walk around with a dog, etc.
We're one block from the centre of downtown Evanston. Clearly Evanston isn't going to win any awards for nightlife, culture or dynamism. But, you're not going to get than anywhere near campus. Good news is you're 2 blocks from Davis, which gets you to downtown Chicago in 30 mins.
