Great value but basic accomodation

Hinman House (1516 Hinman Avenue) is a rather old building that management is doing a good job at maintaining but is still very basic. My studio is very spacious (400 sqf) but has not been renovated and hence has a very old style flavor to it. Windows in particular are old and do not provide good insulation. Otherwise neighbors are all very nice, there are no noise nor disturbances and the building manager is always here to help you.

Nice location

Great location, 10-15 minute walk to school. Downtown central Evanston, near Wholefoods, bars, and restaurants. 5 minute to LA Fitness. Wooden furnished furniture. 100% ready on move-in date. Available starting end of June. Great landlord who's a former Kellogg student. Great value. Triple M should definitely consider.

Huge apartment, good deal, very annoying management

Apartment is huge (everyone is always impressed by the size of our living room and master bedroom). Very good location in downtown Evanston and with the NU Shuttle Bus stop just around the corner. However, the management of the building is very annoying and we had several troubles/difficulties with them regarding move-in fees etc.

About Downtown Evanston

Since it's home to Northwestern, Downtown Evanston is the most popular residential area for Kellogg students. Most apartment buildings in Downtown Evanston are a 20 minute walk from the Donald P.

Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at E2 Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Student living at Centrum Evanston
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at McManus Living-Learning Center
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at Optima Horizons
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!
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at 1454 Oak Ave
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at John Evans Building
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.
