The Main

"Best apartment ever lived! Pam and Charity in the office are super nice and helpful! And Steve who led the maintenance team is very responsible and always solve the problems! I would honestly miss it here when I relocate."

"Best place I've ever lived. The building is well-constructed - I rarely heard any sound from other units - and very well-maintained. The building's public spaces are immaculate and pleasant to be in. I stayed at The Main for nearly four years and never found it anything short of wonderful. Shout out to Pam, Charity, and Ramondo for making it a great place to be."

"The apartments are new, spacious, clean, and comfortable. You get a view of Lake Michigan which is nice. The building amenities are excellent and well kept. The building is modern. Pam and her team are fantastic. They are friendly and reliable. Every time I asked, they helped me quickly and well. They also communicate clearly and promptly to residents and have been very professional during the pandemic. The location is good. The neighborhood is safe. The building is across the street from the CTA Purple stop (but you cannot hear the trains at all). The Northwestern shuttle stop is a 1min walk away. The building is within walking distance of the center of Evanston, supermarkets, and good restaurants."

"It’s a very nice building but they nickel and dime residents, and there is a fee for everything!! For example, I paid additional $500 “moving fees” when I moved down the hall. I was charged twice for pricey key fabs, was misquoted a fee for a simple accent wall that cost hundreds of dollars. I’ve been charged late fees when their OWN automatic payment system didn’t work over the weekend, monthly fees for not sending a specific page of renters insurance proof...the list goes on. (My insurance company said they’ve never seen a building do this before and asked if they use “scare tactics” with residents). This is in addition to fees for trash, heat, ac, parking, water, service fees, renters insurance, storage, etc. There are a few building problems with things that don’t work such as the thermostat, the garage sensor, the door buzzers, outdoor fire pit, along with safety and security incidents that a security guard informed me of impromptu entryway security. I would not complain about one of these things had there not been a double standard for residents who seem to be charged for everything. It is a very nice building. Maintenance is quick. They are on top of most things. The “luxury” is more reflected in the prices than the building."

"My husband and I lived in The Main for two years -- we bought our own place and just moved out, but we will miss The Main very much! It is a beautiful building kept in tip-top shape, run by friendly, helpful people. The building's gym is the best I've seen, out of the buildings we visited when we were looking to rent and when we were looking to buy. The facilities in general are well designed and always clean. Also, the location is super convenient! The Main was a pleasure to come home to -- if only it sold units!"
