Great apartment!

Awesome apartment, high ceilings with track lighting and lots of windows. Pretty new appliances, hardwood floors. Good amount of space. No doorman or gym but rent is cheaper. Not many units that are 2BR and layout such that it works for roommates (rather than a couple or family) but if you get one it's great. 15 min walk from the Jake, right next to the Davis Metra/EL stops.

Love my apartment, but building mgmt & maintenance are unresponsive

Love the location - proximity to Whole Foods, CVS, Citibank, Bat 17, right next to the CTA, EAC is basically my living room...
This used to be a department store, so the units are non-standard and have high ceilings. Love living here!
Mix of Kellogg and non-Kellogg in the building - probably at about 50/50. Always a party happening somewhere, but I can't hear them from my unit.

Great Location

Main upside: The location of Evanston Galleria simply can't be beat.
Main downside: The condos do not have enough storage space in the unit (i.e., not enough closet/cupboard space), though you do get a storage locker downstairs.

Awesome beautiful building

Have really enjoyed living here -- very quiet and nice with incredibly high ceilings. Some issues with the management and there are no amenities (but I didn't want amenities anyway -- I rarely use building gyms)

Great building!

Awesome location in central Evanston in a historic building that has been renovated with modern finishes. The units are spacious with lots of light. The main negative is that there aren't any amenities other than storage.

Great location, nice building

Evanston Galleria is great. The apartments are big with high ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows, and in-unit washer/dryer. The building used to be an old department store, so it has a lot of character. The rent is reasonable, and my unit came with a parking space in the attached lot off of the second floor. There aren't a lot of frills in the building -- no doorman or gym, and the parking isn't covered.

One warning, the apartments are lofts so there are ventilation gaps in the bedroom (walls don't go all the way to the ceiling). So if one person is up late making noise or having the lights on then it can be hard for the person in the bedroom to sleep.

Otherwise, it's a great place to live right in the heart of Evanston just steps from restaurants/bars and the El/Metra.

Great Place!

So far, the Galleria has been a nice place to be. There are some ups and downs with maintenance giving the building is older and was not originally designed as condos. Maintenance isn't the most timely, but everything gets done. The actual space is great and the tall ceilings are amazing! I enjoy the low-key vibe of the building, but wish it was a bit more social.

Beautiful Historic Building in Central Location

The Galleria has been a great place to live. It's centrally located in Evanston close to restaurants, grocery stores and public transit. Also, it's a quick 10 minute walk to the Jake. A bunch of Kellogg students live in the building, so there is a nice community. It doesn't come with any amenities, but you are close the LA Fitness. Pets are allowed on a per condo basis, so you need to check with your landlord.

Great place to live overall

Galleria has a lot of Kellogg students in one of the best locations in town. Easy access to all the bars and restaurants Evanston has to offer, but it's pretty quiet in general. It's a loft style building, so you get high ceilings and large windows. All units are recently updated with modern apliances. However, there's no common space to hang out in or fancy amenities if those things are important to you, and the rent here is on the more expensive end. Having said that, I've really enjoyed living here so far.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

Downtown Evanston has everything you need. E2 is walkable to campus, a Target, and plenty of restaurants, as well as Metra and L stations to get to Chicago. Right across the street is a Subway, a Thai restaurant, and a pizza place, plus there’s a 7-Eleven about a block away, so you’re very close to options if you need food in a pinch.
Perfect for grad school at Northwestern, but otherwise feels a bit suburban without a booming downtown. There are some good food/bar options, but also a handful of abandoned/empty retail locations -- I'm hoping that means new coffee shops/food venues are coming, but it doesn't look like it just yet.
All in all ideal downtown Evanston location. Very convenient for public transportation to Chicago, next door to local favorite Bennison's (love the late night smell of donuts baking), and walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, and stores. Once the Target goes up by Sherman Plaza and we have an alternative to Whole Foods close by this will be perfect.
McManus is located right next to Evanston downtown, so everything (restaurants, bars, groceries) is very close by. It's also right next to Northwestern campus (~15-18 minutes to Kellogg Global Hub by foot), which helps quite a lot, esp. in the winter when you'd want to keep your commute as short as possible.
There's plenty to do, but it still takes some effort to get downtown. If you want the quickest ride (metra), then you have to plan ahead and deal with the (infrequent) train schedule. The purple line only runs express during rush hour. Depending on the time of day, your commute can run 20 minutes to an hour and a half.
I would 100% live in Evanston when choosing where to live for my time at Kellogg. There are plenty of amenities of all sorts - everything from two (!) Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's to amazing restaurants (Stained Glass, Boltwood, Found) and quick joints (Freshii, Cozy, Blaze, Cheesie's, etc.) to good bars ranging from dive-y (Bat 17) to more upscale (Bangers & Lace) to great retail, workout options (barre, boxing, and regular gyms), salons, and handy storefronts like hardware, cleaners, etc. Feels like home very quickly!
I live just south of the main downtown area, and it's the perfect intersection of being close to the action but also a bit removed when you want some quiet. I like being a in a more residential pocket, so there is slightly less foot traffic and really nice areas to walk around with a dog, etc.
We're one block from the centre of downtown Evanston. Clearly Evanston isn't going to win any awards for nightlife, culture or dynamism. But, you're not going to get than anywhere near campus. Good news is you're 2 blocks from Davis, which gets you to downtown Chicago in 30 mins.
