Review of Evanston, Illinois


A great place to live
Star Rating - 6/27/2015
I've lived in Evanston my whole life and started raising my family here. Alas we have to relocate, but our neighborhood is fantastic.
A little known gem, The Commons of Evanston, is a great place to live. Surrounded by million dollar homes, these townhouse/condos are affordable, 2 blks from lake, 2 blks from L & Metra, great school district.
We have a 3bdrm 2.5 bath, 1700 sqft, and our mortgage is $1700 a month. The complex does everything for you, from snow removal and landscaping, to window screen repair. Everyone is friendly and accommodating.
If you are looking to relocate, our unit will be on the market by 7/8, turn-key ready.

Would you say the corner of Hinman and Keeney is a good area? I am moving there in August and am now just realizing people have bad things to say about Evanston (which seems odd to me) and talks about crime? I guess its all relative though. I'm coming from a good neighborhood in Milwaukee and hear gunshots all the time so, not too worried.
