1228 Emerson St

A midrise condominium completed in 2008, this six-story residential building offers primarily multi-bedroom units arranged for contemporary urban living. Units are characterized by open floor plans, high ceilings and expansive windows that bring abundant natural light; many layouts include in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, built-in shelving and generous kitchen islands finished with granite or Caesarstone counters and stainless appliances. Private outdoor spaces — balconies or long terraces on higher floors — are common, and several units feature spa-like primary baths with dual vanities, separate tubs and multi-jet showers. Common areas include a staffed lobby with elevator access, interior storage lockers, secure heated garage parking and monitored entry systems; the exterior provides a dog run and guest parking. The building supports convenience and low-maintenance living with features such as designated storage, elevator service to all levels, and selected units offering private terraces or fireplaces. Located close to downtown Evanston transit nodes, university amenities and the lakefront, the property sits within a neighborhood of shops, restaurants and farmer’s market activity. Pet policies are permissive with modest pet fees; some assessments cover utilities like heat and gas. Overall the building combines recent construction details, practical storage and parking solutions, and a walkable, transit-accessible location.
