    "Downtown Evanston is great because it is close to quiet tree-lined neighborhood streets and close to restaurants, the public library, stores, gym and yoga studios, music venues, etc. I thought I would never recognize or know the people who live in my apartment building but I do, as well as shop owners. Feels like a smaller town but lots of big city options for things to do."

The shops and restaurants on Main are delightful. It’s a quiet neighborhood. Truly a gem of an area. One warning: the city parking lots have long waiting lists and parking is not easy."
