One of the unique things I appreciate about NRO is that the company puts great effort into proactively maintaining the property - whether re-painting interior walls, steam cleaning shared hallway spaces, or cleaning out dryer vents in each unit to prevent fires.

I just signed my lease for the 4th time at Novel and thrilled to get to live here another year. My experience here has been nothing short of amazing. I just love the peace of mind I have knowing I live in a clean, safe, quiet, and well kept neighborhood with all the amenities. You really can’t find anything better in Houston.
