Check Out
Evanston!
 Merrick Rose Garden
& Centennial Fountain
 Fountain Square |
Conveniently located just north of
Chicago, Evanston is a stunning natural setting on Lake Michigan. Wide
sandy beaches, historic homes on landscaped streets, tree-lined bicycle paths
and beautiful parks make Evanston a popular homestead for many.
Evanston is summer art fairs, craft
fairs, garden fairs, the Farmer's Market and First Night on New Year's Eve.
It's old trees arching over streets in neighborhoods full of diverse
architectural styles.
Evanston is energetic and vibrant;
Preserving the old (look at our Tallmadge street lights, the original Fountain
Square Fountain now in the Rose Garden), and embracing the new (two exciting
developments coming to out downtown).
And oh, our bookstores! From the
small independents to the Big B's (Barnes & Noble and Borders). Not to
mention our restaurants!

 University Hall |
When it's time to eat, Evanston is an
adventure in dining. From award-winning Mediterranean cuisine and Japanese
sushi to French, Asian and Regional specialties; Evanston's unique restaurants
offer quality food to satisfy the most sophisticated palate.
Evanston is shopping in unique
stores, whether downtown or in the neighborhood shopping areas along Main,
Dempster and Central.
It's a place where citizens care-
passionately- about the city's past and future, and speak up on
issues.
Evanston is urban and
suburban, old and new- a contrast of infinite variety.

Financing Your Home >Buying Cooperatively
Today it is becoming quite common for friends to pool their resources to buy a larger home than either of them could afford alone. Some builders cater specifically to this group of buyers by offering homes with two "master suites" instead of the more typical room arrangement. If you are considering a joint purchase, you and your buying partner should outline clearly your agreements about your shares in the down payment, the monthly mortgage payments, and what you will do if one of you decides to move out.
Before committing to a property, sit down with a real estate professional to discuss your options. Should you take possession as joint tenants? Will you have a 50/50 interest in the property, or should the interest be adjusted to reflect each person's share of the down payment or the monthly mortgage payment? Your agreements with your buying partner should be clearly expressed in writing.
