1864 Sherman Ave

Sherman Gardens is a mid‑century, seven‑story cooperative originally built in 1947 that offers primarily two‑bedroom residences arranged around a landscaped central courtyard. The brick-clad structure features courtyard-facing units with private balconies or patio doors, beamed ceilings in some homes, built-in storage, and flexicore construction that lends sturdy, quiet separation between floors. Common areas include a passenger elevator, a service elevator accessing basement coin laundry, individual storage lockers and a bike room. Monthly assessments commonly cover heat, water, electricity and property taxes, and the co-op maintains on-site grounds and exterior maintenance. Parking is available nearby in a gated lot with optional covered or uncovered spaces for a fee. The co-op’s occupancy rules favor owner-occupants and typically require a 20% minimum down payment; pet rules are restrictive (cats often allowed; dogs commonly prohibited). Located on the north edge of downtown Evanston, the building places residents within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, Northwestern University, CTA and Metra stations, and Lake Michigan, offering a compact urban lifestyle with garden views and plentiful transit connections.
