Updated apartments with stainless steel appliances, wood floors, and great lighting. Mid-rise buildings and central courtyard/pool area make for a homey feel. Amenities aren't over the top but have all the basics covered (common area with free coffee/WiFi, outdoor pool/grill area, small gym.) Property management is very responsive. Only drawback is thin walls. Great option for those looking for a nice place that's a little cheaper (and has more basic amenities) that some of the other newer Evanston buildings.

Reserve isn't the new complex in Evanston but it has been recently been remodeled (last two years) and is in great shape. The management team is also super responsive and helpful. Overall, I've been super happy at the Reserve!

My apartment is one of the biggest I have seen for Kellogg students and one of the cheapest of the large buildings. I love that the Reserve is only 4 stories and is spread out - it makes it feel more like a community than a giant apartment complex. The management team is very helpful and nice and knows most of us by name! The walk to campus is easy and pretty quick - even better if you have a bike which you can keep in the heated garage for free. Only downsides are pretty thin walls and the distance to downtown is slightly farther than other buildings.

Great rooms & price for a managed bldg. lots of Kellogg students

My experience has been great so far - convenient location near other housing developments, a quick bike ride or walk from campus with easy access to both Metra and L trains. Also close walk to downtown Evanston. Only downside is that depending on which building you’re in you can hear the trains behind the property but it honestly hasn’t been disruptive for me.

I've greatly enjoyed The Reserve. It's not too far from campus (~20-minute walk), close to downtown (~10-minute walk) and close to other apartment buildings (~5-minute walk from E2). It's priced well in comparison to other apartment complexes and they have a good pet policy. One downside is the walls can be a little thin (apartment to apartment). It's not terrible, just if someone is blasting music, you'll be able to hear it.

Great for dogs, lots of space, less noisy than E2 and close to it in locations.

We like living here because there are lots of other families, good gym facility and common room.

The leasing office frequently holds events for the renters and guys there are really helpful and patient.

Very great experience
