Great Location and Spacious Apartment

The Evanston Galleria is a best the location to live for a Kellogg student, especially a couple. It's close to the Jake and near the downtown Evanston bars, restaurant and grocery stores. Also, it's a 10 minute walk to the water and a nice running path. The apartment is a converted department store and has really nice high ceilings and great light. Also, the appliances are all stainless steel and we have granite countertops. It's a little bit more pricey, but well worth it.

Highly recommend the Evanston Galleria

The location is perfect. You are close to the Jacobs building and in the heart of Evanston. The building is always kept clean and the high ceilings give the apartments a unique touch. My complaints are that the building is so old that the heating system makes a lot of noise. It is also not very warm since a lot of cold air gets in through the window frames. Keep in mind that the building is on top of Panera and another restaurant so there are constantly delivery trucks in the back side of the building that can be very loud. The trash pick up is done at 6am and I am woken up by it often. I would recommend the apartments that face Church St. Other than that it is a great place to live in!

Great location, good value

Evanston Galleria is a very nice building located in the center of Evanston. Our apartment is spacious (800sqft), has high ceilings (13'), and nice hardwood floors. The unit is well-priced, especially since it is only a block or two from the Davis St El and Metra station. The layout is a bit strange and there is no window in the bedroom. The bathroom would be much better if it were a bit larger, but overall we like the apartment. We don't have a gym or doorman, but I think the space and design makes up for that.

Evanston Galleria

The apartment is fantastic and it's hard to find a more convenient location. The main downside is the apartment's funky layout--not having a bedroom door is kind of weird, but relatively easy to get used to.

Bonus: the apartment stays very warm in the Evanston winter...

Great Location and High Ceilings

Really great location in downtown Evanston, hardwood floors, huge windows and the condo I am renting is newly renovated. Very spacious and the high ceilings make it seem much roomier. Decently priced. Parking is outdoors. A block away from the train station and only a 10 minute walk from campus

Large Condo in the heart of Evanston

I really like the lobby/aesthetics/hallways/elevators of this complex. There is no doorman or property manager on site, but there are building maintenance workers and there is a man who cleans the common areas multiple times a week and he is very friendly. I have a small dog it is a pet friendly building. There is greenspace to walk her just over a block away, but there are some trees along the sidewalks if we don't have time to walk that far. There are some non-Kellogg people in the building, but it is largely occupied by Kellogg students. The condos are individually owned, so using a broker to get a unit is common. Parking is through assigned spots and not every unit gets a spot. The garage is attached to the building and is not covered. Trash and recycling bins are available on each floor and it is very convenient. There are also storage units in the basement that are quite large and come with every unit. I highly recommend this place!

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.
