My husband and I needed to make temporary living arrangements while he undergoes medical treatment. I was thrilled to find Novel offers a 3 month lease plan that perfectly fit our needs. We were looking for a higher end property that was both convenient can comfortable.
We are very happy with the professional staff, the lovely apartment, convenience of location and all the amenities offered at Novel. Five star all around!

I have lived at Novel River Oaks for two years. The community itself is beautiful, and the location is excellent. That was one of the main reasons I chose to stay, especially because of my son’s school.
However, my biggest concern has always been the management and communication. There is a consistent lack of professionalism, poor communication, and at times a rude or dismissive attitude. As a resident paying premium rent, I expected much better service and responsiveness.
The pricing here is... very high, and while you may think you’re paying for comfort and quality living, the level of management and service does not reflect that cost. For the amount being charged, residents deserve more attention, respect, and better overall support.
Unfortunately, I am now looking forward to moving and finding a place where the service matches the price. The community may look beautiful, but true comfort comes from good management and proper care for residents.
