Sally is wonderful. Very helpful and move-in was very easy. Everyone is friendly and the view is great. Location cannot be beat.

Apartment Description
Talk about convenience! Main Station lies just a block from both CTA Purple Line and Metra UP North trains, and a short walk from shopping, dining, the lakefront, and much more. Add to that a wide selection of spacious one-bedroom apartments in a... classic amenity-rich building and you can see why Main Station ranks among Evanstons most desirable rental communities, along with the rest of our Evanston portfolio.

Unfortunately, I would not feel comfortable recommending Main Station Apartments at this time. Since moving in four months ago, I have experienced recurring plumbing issues, including multiple shower clogs and a kitchen sink clog that left the kitchen nonfunctional for over a week.
There have also been ongoing concerns related to cigarette smoke entering the unit, as well as inconsistent communication regarding maintenance timelines. These issues have significantly affected my daily living... experience.
I hope management will take steps to improve maintenance responsiveness, repair quality, and communication to better support residents in the future.

Our building manager and maintenance staff are excellent. They respond quickly to inquiries and anything that requires attention. Common areas are kept clean and are maintained. Outdoor spaces look nice and are kept up.

I just renewed the lease on my apartment for one more year, and I'm truly
happy to be here. I've lived in this building for thirteen years, and it feels
like home. I look forward to spending 2025 in my apartment.
