National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states
Apartment List has released results for Evanston from the second annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. The survey, which drew on responses from over 30,000 renters, provides insight into what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the 105 million American renters nationwide.
“Evanston renters seem satisfied with their city overall,” says Andrew Woo, Director of Data Science at Apartment List. “They gave a mix of below- and above-average scores.”
Key findings in Evanston include the following:
*Based on base prices that don’t include fees
Charming commercial district along Central Street makes this North Evanston neighborhood especially attractive to renters. Housing options range from vintage apartments to newer condo buildings with varied price points. The area offers easy access to Northwestern University, lakefront parks, and CTA/Metra connections to downtown Chicago.
Lakeside sophistication thrives near Northwestern University's campus. Renters enjoy Davis Street's boutique shops but note $2.8k+ studio rents. Winter winds off Lake Michigan rattle vintage windows in prewar buildings.
