1500 Chicago - a great option for Kellogg students
Big living room, kitchen, closets, 2 big bedrooms + 2 bathrooms! This double is south-facing, so we get excellent light. I have several classmates in this building and we do get togethers, casual wine nights, potlucks, and game nights. The building is mostly Kellogg students + elderly Evanston permanent residents.
15 minute walk from the Jacobs center (Kellogg at Northwestern), the building is located in the heart of downtown Evanston. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Jewel Osco within 10 mins walk. Multiple bars, gyms, food establishments, CVS, etc. within a 10 minute radius.

Good building but it is too hot
Overall, I've had a good experience living in 1500 Chicago.
Pros: Many students from Kellogg, Location in terms of downtown evanston, value for money
Cons: Too hot and not very well ventilated, somewhat further away from Kellogg than most other buildings (I wish I would have picked Park Evanston)

Good value for a fairly low price
It is not the fanciest, but definitely it is a good place where to live and it is one of the cheapest!

Great Value, Great Management
We downsized from a 2 bedroom when we moved to Evanston. So, we were definitely looking for a place that gave us as much space and storage as possible. 1500 Chicago offers great, up to date spaces and truly amazing management. I highly recommend it to any incoming student.

Spacious and best value of all the apartments
I moved here with my wife and daughter from LA and brought all my stuff with me. This is the only apartment that could fit all my stuff, without having to throw anything out. The bedroom is huge; we have a queen bed, a crib, a chest, and an end-table but it still has a lot of space to walk around. The living room easily takes our 3+2 sofa set and a dining table in the corner. The kitchen is average sized, fits our basic needs, and includes a dishwasher, which was important for us. Extra storage provided downstairs. The unit does not have a washer/dryer within, but the building has a common laundry place on the ground floor, which is convenient enough. The building does not have any conference rooms, gym or swimming pool, which the more expensive places do have. The management is pretty responsive to any complaints we have. It is a 12 minute walk to the Jake. The building is filled with Kellogg students and we keep running into each other everytime we step out, so you will not miss the social aspect of the school at all. Also, it is only a 4-5 min walk to McManus in case you want to print something out or meet people. I would recommend it for anyone with a family or even single people who want to share an apartment.

Spacious, bright studio
Love my studio at 1500 Chicago, which is spacious, sunny and clean. The only thing I dislike is the carpet, but that is also clean and new. The location is convenient and management is responsive and reliable. In general, a great place to live!

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