Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Evanston is the first suburb north of Chicago. Central Street area is a walkable environment with an eclectic, vintage, and "small town feel." We are two minutes walking distance from bakeries, specialty shops, restaurants, library, grocery and parks. Our condo is .03 of a mile from the Metra and "El" train station. Northwestern's Ryan Field is .07 of a mile away. Lighthouse Beach on Lake Michigan is 1.5 miles away. There are hiking and biking trails that will take you into Chicago or out to Chicago's Botanical Gardens. Great location for families or anyone that would like to visit Chicago theatres, Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier and then return for an evening in Evanston. Outdoor concerts, festivals, Northwestern football and basketball games, and beautiful parks and beaches are in the beautiful town of Evanston.
