Lake Michigan is a bit part of the attraction for residents of Evanston apartments to live here. With a natural setting for beauty on the lake, its proximity to Chicago and the home of Northwestern University, what is there not to love here? The shores of Lake Michigan provide plenty of entertainment with swimming, sailboat and kayak rentals, with six beach areas to choose from. Make sure you pick up your beach token or daily pass before picking out your lounge spot. Several major special
events take place outdoors in Evanston, including the Lakeshore arts festival, the Starlight Concert Series and the Ethnic Arts Festival. And with over 90 public parks to play in, there's no good excuse to stay inside.
While the outdoors and beach lifestyle is an attraction to many, some Evanston apartment dwellers prefer the more indoor activities. A history museum, an art museum and an historic lighthouse and maritime museum are easy to access and a delight to tour. The Noyes Cultural Arts Center provides space for artists of all types - visual and performing - a space to exhibit and perform. The creativity is definitely here, with Tinkertoys created in Evanston.
With Northwestern as the headliner university, several national fraternity and sororities are headquartered here, as well as Rotary International. For transit, the CTA's Purple Line, part of Chicago's "L" train system, comes through Evanston, making it a convenient commute to Chicago.
There is plenty of shopping to be had in this city of over 75,000, for yourself or your Evanston apartment. Once the home of one of the first Marshall Field's and Sears stores in a suburban neighborhood, being on the north side of Chicago makes it an excellent destination for retail stores. And with hundreds of restaurants sprinkled throughout the area, you can never go without a wide selection of places to eat.
Evanston apartments - a great place to enjoy life!
