I was hopeful coming in to live at Evanston Place, but the experience of living here has been a disappointing headache for a number of reasons:Of the smaller issues:-The website claims hardwood floors when it is vinyl. Not the biggest deal in the world but I felt cheated upon arrival.-Cheap, quickly done repaint of apartment before moving in. There are clear splotches on the wall where parts were painted over.-What they claim as lakeview can be deceiving. My apartment was billed as lakeview, but my only window faces directly across the patio, so my main "view" is the other half of the apartment complex. You have to stand on the edge of the window and look sideways to get a true lake view.Of the (much) larger issues:-The elevators constantly break and are frankly dangerous. I was in the South tower freight elevator when it broke and literally crashed down seven floors to the first floor (luckily safeties were in place so I did not get hurt). That was the end of September. It is now mid February and the elevator still has not been fixed despite management saying it would only take a few weeks.-The only other South tower elevator has now been broken for 2 weeks with no hope of repair soon. I live on the 7th floor in a building that now has no functioning elevators. I will give them credit for being communicative about this elevator breaking down and they have hired help to deliver packages and groceries to residents, but it does not solve the core issue. Also this wouldn't have been as big of a problem if the other elevator that has now been broken for nearly 6 months had been fixed sooner. -The option they gave us for the elevators was to use the 6th floor plaza to cross over and then use the North tower elevators to go down. As of today, one of the North tower elevators was also broken. Make that 3/4 elevators in the building all broken at one time.-They flipped the building to heat on October 1. It then proceeded to be 80 degrees for the next two weeks and there was warm weather throughout the fall, but we had no way of getting air conditioning our apartments.-For my first few months living here, they were performing construction on the roof. The construction itself was not a big deal except for the fact that management claimed they would only be working from 9 to 5 on weekdays, but I had the joy of being woken up to incredibly loud drilling at 7 AM on a Saturday multiple times.-During COVID times, this building has turned into the off campus party house for NU undergrads. The residents in the room across the hall from me host parties so loud every weekend that it feels like they are in my apartment. The only positives I can give are that the updated amenities in my unit are very nice, and the social deck is a great place to hangout when the weather is warm. Overall, to pay this much, the service and experience have been very lackluster.
