Evanston IL is a very community focused city just north of Chicago’s downtown and as an Evanston Real Estate agent, it’s one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoy living and working here! For those of you who are considering making Evanston your new home, you’ll find that Evanston has a wide variety of characteristics that make it a unique place to call home. From an array of events throughout the year, to stunning turn of the century homes and renovated condos, to an eco-conscious environment; Evanston seems to have it all!
The City of Evanston is committed to encouraging continued education and a better quality of life for its’ residents, which can be clearly seen with the upcoming Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. This coming Monday, January 16 will not just be a day “off”, but a day to actively participate in the celebration of this great historic hero. Whether you currently live in Evanston or are looking for a way to honor Dr. King; you won’t want to miss the events taking place over the next few weeks here in Evanston. Here are a few of the highlights:
