I love that the Reserve is so much more spacious than many of the other buildings that students live in and also that the apartments feel a lot "warmer" and less boxy than E2 or some of the high rises. When its nice out, it is great to have the pool, and its also nice to take advantage of the gym and free coffee!
In the past, I had issues with the management company, but they have recently been replaced and the new company seems way more organized and helpful!

My apartment at The Reserve is a spacious 2 bed 2 bath with a washer/dryer in unit. Good for roommates or couples who may want an extra bedroom to use as an office or guest bedroom. There's a small gym in the building as well as a business center with free printing. I chose to live here because of the layout and proximity to the Jake (about 10 minute walk). Since Kellogg will be moving to the Global Hub this year, the walk will be a little longer. The only downside is that The Reserve is a little further from the bars and restaurants in town. Management recently changed but has been friendly so far.

Really good Management, good location, and fairly comfortable

The apartment is quite large and reasonably priced. The maintenance team is very helpful and will fix any issues immediately. Great to have laundry in the apartment, parking downstairs and a gym in the building, especially during the winter

Great leasing office!

It is an almost perfect apartment. The only cons is it is a bit far from Evanston center (10min walk).

Apart from that, it's a calm community, nice apartment floorplan and very friendly staff.

Pleasant management, but overly expensive

The reserve is good and responsive to service requests, which is nicer than some of the condo buildings. The units are on the smaller side but they are new and there is a nice pool/gym. The also have a guest suite for I think $100/night if you have people come stay.

Walking -> 10-12 minutes to Kellogg, 10 to Downtown, 4 to train station.
Good Gym, good social/computer/printer/TV area, in-apartment laundry, great management team.

The walk to school is about 12 min which is convenient. The downside is that we're not close to the bars, restaurants, and grocery stores that other popular apartments are.
