Step into The Emerald, a fully furnished studio apartment inspired by the timeless glamour of the Emerald City and the elegance of Art Deco design. Located in South Evanston on a peaceful, tree-lined street, this boutique residence sits inside The Dobson, a charming ivy-covered red brick building from the 1940s. With only four units total, it offers a quiet, residential feel while remaining conveniently connected to all that Evanston and Chicago have to offer.
Designed for comfort, creativity, and longer stays, The Emerald is ideal for visiting professors, travel nurses, grad students, or remote workers seeking a peaceful retreat.
