Neighborhood Spotlight: Main Dempster Mile
It’s one of those pockets of Evanston where you can truly live locally. Walk to your favorite coffee shop, grab dinner, browse the boutiques, catch a show, or hop on the train into the city.
It’s local, walkable, vibrant and full of personality— just blocks from the lake and surrounded by residential neighborhoods. People love that there is so much to do and the easy access to the city.
