Amazing place to live! Extremely convenient location.

This building is absolutely perfect to live in. The location is very convenient for accessing downtown Evanston and for walking to campus and is right next to the CTA #201 bus line as well as the Davis Metra and L stations. Amenities are fairly nice, with a communal lounge area/outdoor space and small gym. The building is very secure and management is great, with 24/7 doorstaff, management on-site most days of the week, and an on-site building engineer. It can be fairly expensive to live here as a graduate student if you are renting, but if you can afford the cost, it's absolutely worth it!

Location!!!

Sherman plaza is one of the best deals for a Evanston high-rise. Located just across the street from the subway, the building puts you in the heart of downtown Evanston - close to all restaurants, grocery stores, and bars. Best of all, you don't need to leave the warmth of the building to go to the new Target, which just moved in to the new ground-floor retail space. Units in SP also have substantial storage (lockers and parking spaces) and square footage for a lower price than many other modern high-rises in town.

Clear room with gorgeous view

This room is on the 21st floor facing south and west, so you can have a good view of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan. The room is very clean, and the island kitchen is very useful when you invite your friends. The apartment itself is also very clean and the security is good. LA fitness and Target are in the same building, so you don't have to go outside to go to these places. This is super nice during the winter.

Good quality, quiet, strict rules

Sherman plaza is probably the best building in Evanston; it is also expensive. The rooms are very nice, the location is right downtown and across from both the L and Metra stations, and the walk is manageable ~25 minutes or so to the glub. The management is very responsive and effective (unlike say E2), the internet works well, and the building actually maintains thermal control during the fall and spring when most of the others are sweltering. There are a lot of rules and the building is anti-party, so don't pick it if you plan on hosting a lot of friends. And most units are owned so it can be tough to find a spot. But overall its a great place to live if you want quiet and quality for a price.

Sherman Plaza 1br/1bth/den

Great floorplan. Every apartment is a little different, some carpeted others wood flooring. Appliances also vary from apartment to apartment depending on owner's configuration. Great location to downtown evanston.

Downtown Evanston Reviews

546 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.
