According to a RentCafé analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, between 2007 and 2017, the number of renters ages 60 and older increased 43%, to almost 9.4 million people, outpacing owner households and growing faster than other age groups. Experts say that number will continue to climb.

Fortunately, baby boomers in Evanston, IL have more rental housing choices than ever, including conventional apartments, senior apartments, active adult retirement communities and independent living communities. They only need to choose the one that best suits their needs and expectations.

Conventional rental apartment homes are plentiful in Evanston. Perfect for those who are retired as well as those who are still working, these apartments offer seniors their choice of location and the ease of maintenance-free living.

Seniors may want to move closer to the office and cut down commute time or choose a walkable location near shops, restaurants, recreational areas, gyms, culture venues and more.

Because these apartment buildings are not age restricted, residents can expect to live amid younger people, families and peers. Apartment complexes vary: Some may have pools, exercise rooms and other amenities, while others simply offer you an apartment and maintenance services.

For baby boomers who want a vibrant setting, an engaged lifestyle, and an opportunity to meet others with common interests, a senior apartment like Ten Twenty Grove is the way to go.
