Find a Evanston Apartment

With Lake Michigan to the north and Chicago to the South, Evanston provides a perfect blend of access to nature and urban amenities. The town's population is modest, with approximately 75,000 full-time citizens. The town has essentially grown around Northwestern University, which was founded in 1851.

Northwestern University is one of the preeminent research universities in the world. It is a private institution with extensive undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Its roughly 18,000 students benefit from a unique blend of academics and athletics, as it remains the only private school that still competes in Division I Big Ten athletics. The school has famous alumni in all walks of life, including 38 winners of the Pulitzer Prize.

When to Search

Living in a college town always brings with it a unique set of challenges when it comes time to look for an apartment. The primary one is that the window where there are lots of available apartments is only a couple of months wide. May and June are definitely the best months to look for a place to live.

Staying in the Know

Northwestern University is certainly the beating heart at the center of Evanston. As a result, landlords here are quite friendly to students. If you don't have employment or previous rental references, an academic reference can also help you get an apartment. Ask a professor if they would mind providing you with a reference when you try to get your first off-campus apartment.
