Description

Spacious (approximately 1,200 sq. feet) five-room, two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and a newer kitchen. The location is across the street from both the el and the Chicago-Northwestern stops and walking distance to some excellent dining sites. It also features a parking space immediately behind the building. The first floor of the building consists of stores, so there shouldn't be too much activity in the evening hours. The building is owner-operated and managed.

Unfortunately, there are no laundry facilities in the apartment or in the building and it is against the terms of the lease to bring them into the unit. There is a laundromat one block to the west on Main Street.

The owner pays for water/sewer and the renter is responsible for cooking gas, heat and electricity. The heat is forced air.
836 Custer Ave #2, Evanston, IL 60202 is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,200 sqft apartment in Main-Chicago.

    "I used to live at Hinman & Main for about a year. Both the neighborhood and building I lived in were friendly and I felt very safe even walking my dog at night. 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."
