1889 Maple Ave

A low-rise townhouse community built in 1999, Ivy Court comprises three-story, multi-level townhomes arranged around a gated, professionally landscaped interior courtyard. Units range from two- to four-bedroom floor plans that commonly span three to four levels and include features such as high and cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling and wall-of-window exposures, fireplaces, hardwood floors, and built-in cabinetry. Kitchens and baths have seen periodic updates—granite or quartz counters, modern appliances, and slate or subway-tile accents are typical—while lower levels often serve as family rooms, offices, or flexible guest suites with separate entrances. Private outdoor space is abundant for an urban setting: individual balconies, bluestone patios and larger terraces overlook the communal courtyard. Practical conveniences include attached heated two-car garages for most units, abundant storage, in-unit laundry or laundry adjacent to bedrooms, and heated garage access to units. The complex is gated and walkable to downtown Evanston amenities—transit (Metra and CTA), Northwestern University, shops, restaurants, the farmers’ market and the lakefront—offering an urban-suburban lifestyle without high-rise living. Pet-friendly policies and a maintenance-light residential model reinforce the community’s appeal for buyers seeking townhouse-style ownership with shared grounds and private home-like interiors.
