Evanston, home to about 75,000 people, is the first suburb north of Chicago along Lake Michigan, about 12 miles from the Loop. Northwestern University and its rebuilt Ryan Field bring more than 20,000 students and big game-day crowds, and Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital and Rotary International's headquarters are major employers.
Downtown Evanston, the lakefront beaches and neighborhood shopping districts along Main Street, Dempster Street and Central Street draw visitors from across the North Shore. Evanston has no interstate of its own and limits billboards within the city, so many campaigns reach its residents on nearby I-94 (the Edens) and along the main arterials, with CTA and Metra trains carrying thousands of commuters into Chicago each day.
Billboard advertising in Evanston is an effective way to build brand awareness across Evanston and Chicago's North Shore. Prices on BillboardsIn range from about $600 to more than $4,000 per month. Cost depends mostly on location, traffic and visibility, along with board size, static vs. digital format and campaign length. Design, printing, shipping and installation are included in your total price, and our design team and templates make artwork easy.
The busiest corridors for static and digital billboards serving Evanston include nearby I-94 (the Edens Expressway), McCormick Boulevard, Dempster Street, Howard Street, Ridge Avenue and Green Bay Road. Browse available inventory on our interactive map, pick your location, upload your design and check out.
Location: Inventory inside Evanston is limited, so look at I-94 in Skokie and McCormick Boulevard and Howard Street near the city line to reach Evanston drivers.
