About Northeast
Evanston
Northeast Evanston, located between Lake Michigan and downtown Evanston, is a lakeside and residential Evanston neighborhood with historic architecture and a shoreline park system. Sheridan Road and Central Street concentrates much of the neighborhood’s character, where coffee counters, small grocers, and locally run boutiques line the blocks. Stately lakefront homes and classic brick walk-ups mix with leafy side streets and pocket parks. Lighthouse Beach and the Lakefront Trail set a daily rhythm of sunrise walks and bike commutes. The Halim Time & Glass Museum and the Grosse Point Lighthouse add cultural weight and a sense of place. Food and conversation often orbit around local fixtures like Hewn and Mustard’s Last Stand.

This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath unit is located in a Northwestern University "student apartment" building, just a 13-minute walk from campus. Nestled on a peaceful and quiet street, it's highly popular with a range of tenants, including Northwestern students, faculty, staff, and other young professionals. The property is only 0.5 miles (a 10-minute walk) from the Purple Line's Noyes Station, with convenient access to local amenities including convenience stores, restaurants, and banks. A park is just a 3-minute walk away. Recently renovated in 2023, the unit is currently fully leased to Northwestern students, all of whom are on their second-year leases until 08/31/25. The annual rental income is 38,400 (parking not included). After deducting property taxes, insurance, and the HOA, the unit achieves a 7.5+ cap rate. With a 10-year equity multiple of 3.3X, an annual return rate of 22.97/100, and a projected cash-on-cash return of over 10/100 by year three, this is an ideal investment. The current owner has held the property for nearly 20 years, benefiting from stable and lucrative returns.
