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 Kellogg MBA Student living at E2 Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Student living at Centrum Evanston
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at McManus Living-Learning Center
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg School of Management Student living at Optima Horizons
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!
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at 1454 Oak Ave
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.
Reviewed by Kellogg MBA Student living at John Evans Building
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.
