Church Street Station

Amazing condo and excellent location in downtown Evanston. Right above 27 live, close to the Metra/CTA for easy access to Chicago. There's a bus that takes you right to the Jake, otherwise it's not a far walk or bike ride. Happy to show the place during DAK in case you're interested!

Industrial Chic - Nothing Like It!

It's been an awesome place to live, from the very unique look (exposed pipes and cement floor), expensive finishes (bamboo wallpaper and cool light fixtures) and huge layout. The building staff is very friendly and the 5th floor deck area is beautiful when it's nice enough to use it. There's a small gym, good enough for occasional workouts, but I wouldn't depend on it for a primary gym if you are a frequent exerciser. While we're close to outings at 27 live, the movie theater, some restaurants and steps from the metra and Davis L stop, the biggest drawback is that this building is a bit further from campus than some others. Still within a 15 minute walk, but not super convenient to pop back and forth to campus, especially during the coldest winter days. Overall, no regrets living here though!

Large 2 bedroom with relatively equal sized rooms

Amenities vary between the units in 1640 Maple dependent upon what the owner has done to each unit. That said, the building has some of the larger floor plans in Evanston for two bedrooms. As compared to the Optimas, the bedroom sizes are larger and more equitable for the most part, while it is nicer than 1500 Chicago. It's right above 27 Live which is great for Tuesday nights and across the street from the Metra and El trains for easy travel down to the city. It is a bit on the further side from the Jake and is about 15 minutes to campus when walking. Overall, a great spot for a pretty good price.

Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at 1406 Elmwood Ave
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.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at The Scholar
Evanston is the epitome of a college town, everything you need and most of what you want is within a 10 minute walk.
Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at McManus Living-Learning Center
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at Centrum Evanston
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.
