The location and size of these apartments is great. Walking distance to four different grocery stores, close to the lake, L stop, bus stop, and about 10 minutes from campus. The common areas in my apartment are pretty spacious with lots of closet space, and the rooms are decently sized (but quite uneven in size). Maintenance of the building is good, the building manager has always been very responsive and resolved issues promptly. However, the building is a little old and we've had a couple things go wrong.
The price is ok, seems about comparable with other Evanston apartments.
On a quiet street and the bedrooms in our apartment don't share any walls with our neighbors so it can be pretty quiet.

Great place with large rooms, not many amenities, but very near downtown and NU. Parking lot with roof available and 2 elevators. Building with only 24 apartments.

Some minor issues, mostly working fine

Pros:
Apartment is very affordable
Apartment is really clean. Cleaning guy lives in the building and he is on top of his game

Cons:
Apartment is old and desires renovations
Property manager- the guy you call when things are broken is okay. He responds when he wants to. Usually ignores your texts or calls but fixes issues within 48 hrs
Leasing office is literally the worst in the world. Google Ritchie Realty & Management Company. They can be rude, nasty, and incompetent. I only stuck it out because I subleased from previous renters and had to convert apartment to my name.

Apartment is nice, with space except for the kitchen that is small. I would say is one of the most decent prices at evanston. Landlord are ok, the executive at the office are terrible. I have to pay by check.

My roommate and I pay less than $1000 to live really close to Whole Foods and the downtown Evanston restaurants. The building doesnt have many amenities, but it is a great price for the size and location.

Great location, about an 11 minute walk to school. It's also very close to bars and restaurants. The building itself has very little community or amenities, but its a great value for the price you pay. Only big issue I have with it is that you need a landline for the buzzer system to work.

I was looking for a building that had character but learned there is a difference between character or "vintage" and just plain old. I have realized it is a lot in the maintenance. In our building things frequently break down: the elevators, washing machines, and stuff in our apartment. While the management eventually fixes most things, they dont seem to be investing in the place for the long run.
To me, the perks were the price (it is less than many other buildings but still not cheap) and proximity to Northwestern, the Lake, and coffee shops/grocery stores. It is a little further from Downtown Evanston and fast food options so its also a good option if you dont mind eating at home as opposed to picking up Chipotle a lot or whatever.
Overall I am disappointed in the management more than anything. Think the building could be a lot better if they just paid attention to it.
