1500 Oak Ave

A midcentury, five-story condominium building in Evanston completed in 1969, the property presents a low-rise, brick-faced profile with a modest, landscaped setback. Units range from roomy two- and three-bedroom layouts to larger, jumbo-floor plans approaching 1,800–1,900 square feet; many residences feature separate dining rooms, generous living/dining galleries, and practical eat-in kitchens with stone or granite counters. Interior common elements include a recently refreshed lobby, an elevator, multiple laundry rooms located by floor, and convenient on-floor storage and mail areas. Most units open to private balconies or patios overlooking tree-lined streets and the building’s grounds. Parking is focused on an included heated garage space per unit plus supplemental outdoor and guest parking at the rear. The association appears owner-occupied with a no-rental policy in several units, and is pet-friendly; building upkeep shows periodic capital improvements such as window and roof replacements, updated plumbing and wiring, and upgraded common areas. Location benefits are prominent: blocks from downtown Evanston retail and dining, within easy walking distance to the Davis station (El/Metra), Northwestern University, parks, and Lake Michigan beaches. Management is described as hands-on and self-managed by owners or a professional manager, with a community-oriented front porch and curated lobby display.
