Great apartment building for students and commuters!
Centrum has been a great choice for me and my non-student husband who commutes downtown for work. While slightly further from the hub than other properties, it's super convenient to most everything else downtown and is a great building. The in-unit laundry, rooftop common space, gym and Klub rooms were selling points for us and have been great amenities. I like that this isn't a huge complex and it doesn't feel like just an extension of Kellogg as I think E2 often can. Management has been responsive when I need something addressed. I love the butterfly system at the front door where guests can call you to be let up or you can send them a key / pin in advance - this is a million times better than E2 west where someone has to physically let you in and up the elevator.
My only few complaints are 1.) if facing toward the lake, the blinds are completely ineffective at blocking out summer sunlight - you're blinded every morning by the sun. Sunsets on the opposite side of the building, however are amazing! 2.) During AC season the AC is either on or off at a particular temperature, you can't set it to auto where it shuts off when it reached your set temperature. It's kind of annoying to have to manually adjust it. 3.) Parking is a 5 minute walk which is less convenient than it being closer. There is a public lot in the back of the building with a loading/unloading space for residents but it's almost always full.

Brand new building, lots of Kellogg students
Brand new building with great amenities and a beautiful design. Walls are a bit thin and maintenance can take a while to respond but otherwise a great place to live. Ideal for anyone who commutes downtown regularly as it is the closest apartment building to both the L train and the Metra. Definitely recommend!

Great New Apartment
Beautiful apartments, convenient to downtown Evanston and trains to downtown. Love living here (been here for 1.5 years). Only complaint is there is no on-site parking. A little further from the global hub than some other buildings with similar amenities.

Brand New
Centrum is brand new and I was the first one to live in my brand new apartment. I really like the building a lot and the amenities provided and have not had any issues with appliances or other maintenance items. The one big letdown is that they do not have a 24 hour member on site like some of the other apartment complexes in Evanston. It is also next to the train tracks and although the windows are very soundproof, the summer days with the window open is not ideal.

Great Value for Space
This condo is located in a very central area for downtown Evanston and a quick walk to the other big Kellogg buildings. A majority of the residents in the building are older or retirees but there are a few sets of Kellogg roommates in the building as well. Our unit is massive and a great price considering what is included. Be mindful though, that since it is a condo building, some units look different than others and have had upgraded or not.

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