800 Elgin Rd

A 16-story residential high-rise completed in 2004, this downtown Evanston condominium offers predominantly two-bedroom layouts and flexible one-bedroom-plus-den plans. The tower presents contemporary high-rise architecture with floor-to-ceiling windows in many units, private balconies, and east-facing homes that capture lake and city views. Interiors commonly feature open floor plans, hardwood or updated waterproof plank flooring, granite or quartz counters, maple or custom cabinetry, built-ins including bookcases and closet systems, high ceilings, and in-unit laundry. Common areas emphasize full-service living: a staffed 24-hour door desk, secured lobby with monitored entry, elevator access, and on-site management. Resident amenities include an indoor heated pool and hot tub, fitness center, sun/roof deck with grills and fire pit, party/meeting room, bike storage, and additional storage lockers. Parking is provided via deeded heated indoor garage spaces; some residences include two-car spaces. The association covers many utilities (heat, water, sometimes cable/internet) and maintains a stable track record of management. Located steps from Northwestern University, Metra and EL stations, downtown shops, theaters, and the lakefront, the building caters to pedestrian-oriented urban living with convenient commuter access.
