Evanston has no shortage of desirable pockets, but a few neighborhoods consistently outperform.
1. Southeast Evanston
Historic, walkable, lake access—high demand, low turnover. Yo Fresh. Stop here for a snack
2. Central Street District
Boutique charm meets top-tier schools. Appreciation stays strong. Backlot Coffee. Pop in for the best coffee in town and gluten free pastries
3. Ridge/Foster/Green Bay Corridor
Transit, Northwestern proximity, and increasing renovation activity. Stacked and Folded as a great happy hour
4. Downtown Evanston
Condos with strong rental demand and unbeatable walkability. Gigios is our iconic pizza spot...and they also have great tacos
5. Northwest Evanston
Bigger lots, family appeal, and long-term equity growth.
If you’re investing, Evanston is one of the most stable markets on the North Shore—and these neighborhoods lead the pack.
