[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Evanston for 2 years and my husband grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Evanston is a GREAT college town, or just town. Period. Are there areas that aren’t quite as nice as others? Yes, but that’s true for most places. I would equate Evanston to more like Arlington-has more urban parts as well as more residential. The town is completely self sufficient-lakefront, great restaurants, shopping etc. But it is a nice perk that it is close to Chicago: but it’s definitely farther from downtown Chicago than Arlington is to DC. But there are multiple ways to access the city: highway/lake shore dr, commuter (faster) train and El (metro type train). And frankly another perk is that there are cute and Tony suburbs to the north for lunch and shopping etc that can also be accessed by train.

I was just trying to convince my HS daughter to consider NW and Evanston today! It’s a great mix. [/quote]
Yes. I would say Arlington is probably the closest comparison of a DC suburb to Evanston, although not perfect. [/quote]
