Great Apartment! A little far from campus

3-story walk up building on a quaint, residential neighborhood a little south of downtown Evanston. Close to Trader Joe's and the Dempster L train station... a little bit a hike from campus

1414 Elmwood

Pros: The apartment has an in unit washer and dryer with a large living room and decently sized dining room. Lots of counter space, cabinet space, and closet space. We have one parking space (included in rent). The master bedroom has the bathroom inside of the room, and the second bathroom is located outside of the bedroom. We also have a storage unit on the first floor (included in rent).

Cons: Street parking is limited to two hours (unless you have a city zone permit). The unit is mainly comprised of wood floors, and therefore, there is lots of squeaking from the floors.

Distance from complex to:
- Dempster L train (5 minutes)
- Davis L train or Metra (5 minutes)
- Downtown Evanston (5 minutes)
- 201 bus route Church and Maple stop (8 minutes)
- Trader Joes or Jewel Osco (10 minutes)
- McManus or Whole Foods (10 minutes)
- Kellogg (25 minutes)

Great value, but a little far

The apartment is great - it is updated and an amazing value for what we pay. The distance from downtown Evanston is fairly reasonable and walkable in the warm weather. However, the distance from campus (1.1miles) is not ideal, especially in the winter.

Condo near Nevins

About 1 mile from campus, small building with nice neighbors. Dogs over 35 lbs allowed!

Hardwood floors, new kitchens, washer/dryer, good closet space. We're very happy with it - took us 2 months to find a reasonable place that would accept big dogs!

About Downtown Evanston

Since it's home to Northwestern, Downtown Evanston is the most popular residential area for Kellogg students. Most apartment buildings in Downtown Evanston are a 20 minute walk from the Donald P.

Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at 1406 Elmwood Ave
Lots of apartments and family homes in the area. I always see someone riding their bike or walking throughout the day. It's a block from the police station, and only 2-3 blocks to downtown. Close to intercampus shuttle, 201 bus stop (3 blocks), and Dempster purple line (1.5 blocks). Nice area to live, quiet at night.

Downtown Evanston is a great place to live if you're a NU student. It's super easy to get to campus via either walking or the bus, and has convenient groceries within walking distance. The food scene is not the best, but good enough.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at The Scholar
Evanston is the epitome of a college town, everything you need and most of what you want is within a 10 minute walk.
Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at McManus Living-Learning Center
I really enjoy living in downtown Evanston. Everything that I need is within walking distance, and it is a 10-15 minute walk to my classes.
Reviewed by Northwestern Graduate Student living at 617-625 Grove St. Apartments
Safe, walkable area, even late at night depending on the streets you take. Great for convenience in terms of getting to campus, no car needed, access to many public transit options. You lose out in terms of cheap food options and fun nightlife - there are only a couple of bars open after 9PM on the weekends and for cheap food you're stuck with Chipotle or at best Tomate. But the lake and beach are within walking distance and you live close to other NU students making it well worth it for me.

Evanston really is a nice town. There's loads of food, both chains and otherwise, and a number of shops and things if you don't mind moving around a little. Driving in the greater Evanston area is not a lot of fun, I will say. I get the sense that the city doesn't much like the University and its constituents, and that the students don't always respect the city. It's not a perfect relationship, but it works. I can easily walk or take transit to class on the Evanston campus, and when I have class in Chicago I take transit, which usually takes more than an hour in the morning and close to an hour coming home.

Downtown Evanston is super cute! There are tons of restaurants and a handful of bars so I find that it offers a good bit of variety for the neighborhood size. There are street festivals, a great farmers market, summer concerts in the square and other community events I've enjoyed. Would highly recommend Evanston anyone who wants access to the city but a self-sufficient "urban burb" type neighborhood.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at Centrum Evanston
Pros: Great location near key Kellogg hangouts like World of Beer, Nevins, Five and Dime, Prairie Moon, etc. Also convenient to Bennison's Bakery! Great for late nights- can get home in < 5 minutes without ubering. Also near both Metra and L- ideal if you plan to spend some of your time in downtown Chicago.

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