Updated apartments, solid amenities, great Property Management

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.

Comfortable and responsive!

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!

Love 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 option!

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.

Great Apartment with a Solid Location

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.

About Northeast Evanston

Quieter than downtown with a suburban feel and calmer setting, yet still close to campus for Kellogg students.

Northeast Evanston Reviews

I think technically this is considered Northeast Evanston, but you'd never know it. It does feel a bit more suburban than downtown does, but you are just so close to downtown that it feels weird calling it something else. It has all the benefits of being in downtown while being a bit more peaceful.
Neighborhood is safe -- lots of other Kellogg students nearby. Occasional emails from Northwestern warning of criminal activity in the area, but I have not witnessed anything that makes me feel unsafe.

Neighborhood is also quiet as its a decent walk from the bars and other nightlife.
The neighborhood is perfect. For Kellogg students, it's close to the Jake, relatively close to the new building, and close to all the other Evanston apartments to never be a problem meeting up with people. It's right next to the Foster St L line and a couple blocks from the Metra.
Sherman and Noyes is a great little pocket of Evanston with lots of shops and restaurant options, a specialty grocer and easy access to the train. There are a lot of undergrads in the area but the noise hasn't been a problem at all. Great for couples, families and pets.
If you're looking for a neighborhood feel, living in NE Evanston is perfect. You're just a 10-minute walk from downtown Evanston, but it's a bit quieter -- and housing prices are way more reasonable than being in a high-rise.
Pretty much everyone in Kellogg lives near-ish to downtown Evanston and I'd say it's definitely helpful so that you can easily meet up with others or get to and from social events. Evanston is pretty cute too!
A little further from downtown, but doesn't impact one's ability to go out or meet up with other friends. There are also quite a few Kellogg students who live in the Reserve.
Safe, walk around at night all the time as a woman without worrying about it. Evanston is boring but has everything you need (grocery, bars, enough decent restaurants).
