The Main

The apartments are new, spacious, clean, and comfortable. You get a view of Lake Michigan which is nice. The building amenities are excellent and well kept. The building is modern. Pam and her team are fantastic. They are friendly and reliable. Every time I asked, they helped me quickly and well. They also communicate clearly and promptly to residents and have been very professional during the pandemic. The location is good. The neighborhood is safe. The building is across the street from the CTA Purple stop (but you cannot hear the trains at all). The Northwestern shuttle stop is a 1min walk away. The building is within walking distance of the center of Evanston, supermarkets, and good restaurants.

It’s a very nice building but they nickel and dime residents, and there is a fee for everything!! For example, I paid additional $500 “moving fees” when I moved down the hall. I was charged twice for pricey key fabs, was misquoted a fee for a simple accent wall that cost hundreds of dollars. I’ve been charged late fees when their OWN automatic payment system didn’t work over the weekend, monthly fees for not sending a specific page of renters insurance proof...the list goes on. (My insurance company said they’ve never seen a building do this before and asked if they use “scare tactics” with residents). This is in addition to fees for trash, heat, ac, parking, water, service fees, renters insurance, storage, etc. There are a few building problems with things that don’t work such as the thermostat, the garage sensor, the door buzzers, outdoor fire pit, along with safety and security incidents that a security guard informed me of impromptu entryway security. I would not complain about one of these things had there not been a double standard for residents who seem to be charged for everything. It is a very nice building. Maintenance is quick. They are on top of most things. The “luxury” is more reflected in the prices than the building.

I really enjoyed living here. If I wasn’t moving out of state, I would have renewed my lease here 100%. I’m seriously going to miss it so much! The location is convenient since it’s right across Metra Main St station and the purple line. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful! Maintenance responded always within a day. The package system is secure and convenient with their locker system. The cleaning staff (Maria) is so friendly and she is literally cleaning the common areas, hallways, etc multiple times throughout the day. They offer heated underground parking and it is a must if you’re not a local and is a real lifesaver during the Chicago winter! Another plus— the gym has a Peloton! Thank you Pam, Hina, and Danielle for making my move here so pleasant!

One liner; Very rude staff. I reached out to the apartment through their official homepage, and then received a text message from them saying a unit is available from early August. Next day, I just walked in since I didn't get any followup message from my reply to their previous message. I called the office at the front door and a staff member hung up TWICE while I was talking. I could have understood if they let me in, explain that they don't have time right now to take me a tour, and set an appointment, but they didn't even try to do anything for me. I could imagine this is a super fancy place to live, although I was not given a chance to look. But I doubt that its team is as nice as this place.
