How much do you pay for rent in Evanston?

Hey folks, I'm a teacher here and Homes are going for about $472,300 on average. With a population of 76,552, Evanston is a smaller city. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Has anyone dealt with this?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely average and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Lakewood) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. traffic is completely different here. And Limited shopping options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
