    Zip 60202 centers on South Evanston’s lakefront vibe: leafy, walkable streets, vintage courtyard apartments and two-flats, and a creative, community-forward feel. You’re steps from South Boulevard and Lee Street beaches, breezy summers on the lake, colorful falls, and snowy winters. The Main-Dempster Mile anchors daily life with Brothers K Coffeehouse, Lucky Platter, La Principal, Sketchbook Brewing, Ward Eight, and the intimate Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre, while Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Jewel-Osco, and ALDI cover groceries. Fitness options include local studios and Planet Fitness, and green space is abundant at James Park, the North Shore Channel Trail, and nearby sculpture-lined paths. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent in the low $2,000s, with most 1–2BRs listing roughly from $1,600 to $2,700 over the past few months. It’s friendly to families and pets, with dog-friendly parks and casual patios, and offers easy commuting via CTA Purple Line (Main and South Blvd), Metra UP-N (Main Street), and quick access to Chicago’s Red Line at Howard.
