Apartment Description
Evanston Place Apartments, located on the North Shore of Chicago, IL 60201, offers new community amenities and upgraded kitchen and bathrooms in select homes! Your time matters, so we skip the hidden fee shuffle. Our prices include required monthly... costs, no extra math, no mystery, just the real number. These upgraded homes include stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, chalkboard wall and in unit washer and dryer. Smart home technology including locks and thermostat available! New community features include a rooftop swimming pool and social deck, Wi Fi tech lounge great for studying, outdoor courtyard with grills, and upgraded 24 hour fitness center. Within walking distance to Northwestern University, Metra train, nearby beach and downtown Evanston. Safe and secure community with controlled access and on site management. Pet friendly and smoke free community. We offer many virtual options including live video tours, 3D virtual tours, and text.
While it might seem like a great place to live, it is so much less than what it seems. The gym is tiny and some of the machines don't even work. The pool is outside and closed most of the year and it's freezing cold. The AC in my room does not work despite my maintenance request. When the maintenance man came for my AC, he couldn’t even fix it -- meanwhile it is 90 degrees outside and I sweat while I sleep. THERE ARE BUGS. THERE ARE BEETLES AND IT IS DISGUSTING. Not to mention, theres a $50... recurring fee to use the package lockers (which they don't tell you about! so you get stuck paying the $50 otherwise you will never get your package). Overall, it really isn't worth the money. Go ahead and spend the same price at the actual luxury apartments in Evanston, or save your money and go to an apartment complex that is cheaper, same quality (if not better), and without a pool. Wish I could go back in time, but for now I feel stuck.

Here, you pay for the location, nothing more. The pool is outside, so it's closed most of the year, the gym is tiny and if you are a student you have free membership to the Northwestern gym. There is NO sense of "community" as they promised, no free coffee and no good reason to pay the high bills we pay in extra for the rent. One of the elevators is out of service for a few months now (best time to spend time in elevators with other people is during COVID-19 pandemic), the pool and gym are... closed but it doesn't seem like we're going to get a refund for it. Would not recommend.

-When signing paperwork and leases, management was consistently sending emails with typos, and even sent us SOMEONE ELSE'S LEASING FORMS WITH THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH, HOME ADDRESS, AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION. -AC was shut off in October the same week that the weather was in the high 80s-90s. There was no way to turn it back on. -Water is currently being shut off 9AM-5AM, from Jan 5-22. When the water comes back on, it's extremely cloudy and murky, and the shower will... never be warm. -Using the package locker is a $50 recurring fee unless you happened to move in before 2018. If you do not pay for the package locker, your packages will be held hostage and you will be yelled at.
