This is the perfect spot for Kellogg couples with one of the partners working. It's very high value for what you pay (it is a 'real adult apartment'). It's very popular with couples with children because of the second bedroom and bathroom. I consider it best for Kellogg couples where one person is working because 1) it's right next to the metro and 2) it's not a party unit like E2 or Optima Horizons. It's the closest condo to the Global Hub as well.

819-821 Foster is a great 14-unit building, with many Kellogg students living there. The building has a lot of families with children, and there are also non-Kellogg residents, so it isn't a big party building. The units are all spacious with modern finishings. The community is friendly, and the building is very safe.

This is the best condo building in Evanston. It's about half Kellogg students/ half non-student owners. Spacious layout, high ceilings, nice finishings, and has more of a 'homey' feel than the large condo/apartment complexes. It's also one of the closest options to the new Global Hub and is convenietly located right by the Foster El stop.

Great place!

819 Foster St is an amazing place to live, especially for families and couples. Each unit has an open kitchen, 10-12 foot ceilings, fireplace, balcony, two bathrooms, and the top floors have their own rooftop deck. I go to Kellogg and there are many other Kellogg students in the building, which is great. It's a 3-5 minute walk to the Jake, a block from the L line, and closer to the new Kellogg building than most other Evanston apartments. We could not be happier with the building, and know of many people who tried to get a unit but couldn't. I'd recommend reaching out to as many people in the building as possible, as it's a condo and each unit is owned individually. There is a wide range in prices between units.

Great Apartment for Couples and Families

This building is an absolute gem in Evanston. First, if you had to define "perfect" location, this would be it. 5 minute walk to the current Jake and 10 minutes to the new Jake -- only single family houses can get closer. It's also across the street from the Foster Purple Line, so if you're commuting or heading downtown, you're only 50 feet away from the station (with no noise from the trains). You're also less than a 10 minute walk from all of the downtown Evanston bars, restaurants, grocery stores, and shops. And only a 7 minute walk to the lake! The units in this building, including 819 #3N, are all enormous: master bed with private bath, second large bedroom with separate bath, 10 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, crown molding, fireplaces, private balconies, and 2 parking spots (!!). The building also has two large roof decks that are great for summer BBQs. Relatively quiet but also filled with Kellogg people - if you're looking for a larger space with comfortable, modern, high end finishes, in the BEST location in Evanston, check out this place.

This condo building is steps to the Jake and about a 5-7 minute walk to most of Evanston's bars and restaurants. The building is about 70/30 renters to owners and most of the renters are Kellogg students. 2 parking spots are included with most units and even though there isn't a pool or doorman the building is extremely secure and only a few minutes away from Evanston gyms/health clubs. Units have hardwood floors, granite countertops, 12' ceilings, crown molding, and surround sound wiring.

By far the best place to live - close to the Jake, next to the purple line, free garage parking, spacious updated condos. Only 12 units in the building and a mix between Kellogg & older condo owners. More of a family environment and a little further from downtown.
