Great value

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

Reserve at Evanston

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.

Excellent management

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.

Great place!

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.

Close to school, but far from downtown Evanston

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.

Good Place to Start

A bit far from downtown Evanston, but this offers a fair 10 minute walk to the Jake. Maintenance is responsive, and the apartments are clean and modern. Additionally, only a one year lease is required.

Reasonable value for the location

About a 10-15 minute walk from the Jacobs Center, The Reserve was a bit more affordable than some of the comparable properties we looked at in Evanston. The apartment itself has great amenities (breakfast bar, in-unit washer/dryer), and we have a nice gym and pool. Management is quick and responsive to any maintenance concerns, etc. My only real complaint is that parking is really expensive; you can't get a street parking permit from the city if you live here, so you're stuck paying an extra $140 a month if you have a car.

About Northeast Evanston

Quieter than downtown with a suburban feel and calmer setting, yet still close to campus for Kellogg students. Northeast Evanston offers convenient access to transit for students who still want access to downtown Evanston. Aside from downtown, this is the most popular spot for Kellogg MBA students a...

Northeast Evanston Reviews

67 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).
