At Home With: Aditi + Archit
where do you go when you can’t decide between the city and the suburbs?
The always hotly debated decision, city or suburbs, was the topic of conversation at our home tour with Aditi and Archit. Spoiler: they left the city and headed to the suburbs. The couple have settled in a single family home nestled in the tree-lined streets of the quiet suburb of Evanston.

Here are a few of our favorite corners throughout Aditi and Archie’s beautiful Evanston Home.
Aditi and Archit were facing the classic Chicagoan issue: do we want more space outside of the city, or less space and stay in our favorite neighborhood?
We asked the hard hitting questions to dig deeper into their decision to leave the city, and head to the suburbs.
“I think I wanted the space, but I know she wanted to stay in the city. And we looked at a lot of places in the northern neighborhoods, like Lincoln Park, Lakeview. While those units were good, it still felt like we would just stay there for maybe a couple years and then move out. But the moment we saw this place, we were like, we could see ourselves here for a good ten years. It's quiet, it's peaceful. I never realized those were the things I really wanted.”
Working With Heyday Homes
Five years ago Krysta helped Aditi find her first rental in the city. Her husband Archit joined her the next year and that's when they decided to buy their first condo- a gem in the West Loop, right in Chicago’s culinary mecca.
They loved that West Loop condo and made the most of their time there, soaking up all the fun things to do within walking distance. As natural progression goes, Aditi and Archit wanted more space outside of downtown, and we found them just that! They closed on a showstopper of a single family home in Evanston. Not only that, but they became landlords for their beloved city condo now turned investment property.
"I am so proud of them for the hard work and smart decisions they made to get here. Feeling fulfilled and grateful to get to do what I love while nurturing meaningful relationships along the way. Cheers to Aditi + Archit & their next chapter!”
