Evanston IL Lake Front at Northwestern University

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker 475.140531

The campus of Northwestern University and the Evanston IL lakefront back up to each other and Segal Visitors centerduring the summer it is paradise. So nice to walk and there is always lots of activities going on. They have a sailing section and you can rent and take a lesson on any type of boating you could ever want. It is as good as it gets.

Last Sunday we took a four mile walk all through the campus of Northwestern, the Evanston lakefront and checked out the beaches. Not only did we get some exercise, our faces got color. What a nice day even though last weekend was in the 90's. This weekend is starting out in the 70's and expected to hit the 80's at best. Maybe a few rain showers later on. I want to share a few photos with you so you can experience our walk. I like to take photos as I go.

Northwestern Campus Evanston ILNorthwestern University has built some very interesting and contemporary looking buildings in the last few years. They added a visitors center with tons of parking and a wonderful music center that has concerts and is the space where students become professionals. It is a very impressive campus. You have to see it to believe it. I love living and working in Evanston.

If you ever decide you want to learn more about what Evanston IL has to offer please let us know and you can hear about what makes this town so special. I have been an Evanston IL resident since 1979 at age 21 and a Realtor for well over a decade. Last year I became an Evanston Ambassador through the city hall, a huge honor to me.

If you ever get a chance to see the Evanston IL lakefront and downtown area I would strongly recommend you check it out. At the end of our walk I took a short video so you can see what I experienced. I plan on taking another great walk this weekend. If you want a tour of Evanston please let me know. I would love to be your tour guide.

Check out this short video wth me please

Noah, Northwestern is a great school and I really like your pictures in this post. You do a great job of selling the lifestyle of living in Evanston or the Chicago North shore.

Noah perfect location for long walks.  I walk 5-6 miles a day and if I lived closer Northwestern University would be part of my daily walk.
