Management is wonderful! High tech, great gym, just pricey.

Was debating between this and E2 for a high-end apartment. Centrum is MUCH smaller than E2 and has a smaller community. This is perfect for what I was looking for.

If you've got a significant other that commutes to Chicago, centrum is a must for the proximity to the metra / cta. That being said, the apartment has been a bit of a letdown with things breaking, ac turning off when temp drops below 65 degrees outside, etc

Great building, highly recommend. Pros - mostly Kellogg, smaller building (total size not individual apts), proximity to downtown, close to public transportation, nice gym, study rooms and rooftop common area. Cons - not cheap.

Newest apartment building in Evanston, with brand new apartments.
Much smaller and quieter than E2 (which is a positive for me).
Management seems to be responsive.
Nice amenities and common areas (gym, study rooms and terrace).
Right next to the Metra and CTA Purple line.
Next to Downtown Evanston.
Furthest building (out of the more common Kellogg residences) from the Hub (but only by a few minutes).
Quite expensive.

The units are very spacious for a 1-bedroom apartment, the rooftop is great for small and big parties and the gym is also very good. The only downsides are the lack of swimming pool nad the price, which is pretty much aligned with E2 and more expensive than the majority of other buildings in the town.
In comparison to E2, I`d definitely pick Centrum just because it is a smaller building so you don`t see parties in the common area every day.

The units decor is modern, spacious. Gym is amazing. You also have other automatic utilities like luxer.one, pressbox and butterfly which makes life easier.

Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

My roommate and I have enjoyed our time at the Reserve. We each have our own bathrooms, a comfortable living space and kitchen, and good-sized bedrooms with large closets. The apartment AC and heating works really well and there’s in-house washer/dryer. Only downsides are thin walls between units and carpet (which is not in all units). Simple 17-min walk to the Hub and you can pay for covered parking.

Excellent building overall
