I wanted to live alone in a one-bedroom apartment in Evanston that would be close to Northwestern and downtown but under $1500/month, so after looking at numerous apartments, came to decision to live at 1125 Davis. The apartment seemed clean and very spacious, the kitchen needed remodeling and I decided to go for it under the condition the kitchen gets updated. First of all, they promised they'll put in a dishwasher before I submitted an application, and I personally heard the main engineer saying the dishwasher will be there, only to be informed later on I could have it at $35/month (which was never mentioned before). I did get a new kitchen (once I was already in the apartment), but it was so poorly done I had 4 electric sockets, 1 for the stove, 1 for the fridge and 1 didn't work, the cupboards are falling apart, they left them dusty etc.
Pros: location, price, size of the apartment
Cons: rude office staff, unprofessional management
