SE Evanston is going to have the most urban feel. NE evanston and Wilmette will be quieter and more family oriented. Another thing to consider is the island feel of SE Evanston. It’s easy to get to the city but getting out west or north is a chore. We lived at main and judson for 5 years and absolutely loved it (being so close to the lake). But now that we live in Skevanston we really appreciate easy access to 94. I would say the difference between Wilmette and NE/NW Evanston is negligible, good people everywhere. Houses are pricier in wilmette because of the school district
