NOVEL River Oaks by Crescent Communities Apartments

I love living here! Everything about Novel is amazing. We especially love Francis and Junior! Thank you to the Novel team for all you do for your residents!

I am very disappointed in the Novel lately. It no longer feels like a quality, luxury complex. Everything has gone down hill including the quality of staff and residents. For example:

Residents don’t keep their dogs on a leash.

Residents don’t pick up after their pets in the dog park. It is filthy and smelly.

The last carpet cleaners did a horrible job. There are still stains on the 7th floor.

The plants by the glass house elevators have been left to die.

There is often a STRONG smell... of pot around the parking garage and even IN the glass house elevator. ( this WILL NOT be tolerated).

It is just not the same wonderful place it used to be. Very sad. Read More

Community is clean and safe. Staff is friendly. There are some growing pains bc the building is somewhat new- e.g., the frequent fire alarm testing for the new restaurants downstairs. Not sure if our water problems are related to that as well. One thing that seems to plague the building is the constant elevators failing. The glass elevators seem to struggle more than the other two. I also wish they installed more heavy duty doors for entering the apartment. Our gym is pretty lame considering... the price point of the building. No squat rack or even smith machine but for some reason we have like 5 cycles. I love all of the community events that are put on and, like I said earlier, the safety and friendliness of the team are paramount. Read More

The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful, the facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and there are so many fun events to enjoy. I absolutely love living here!

Love living at The Novel. It's quiet, I feel secure, the surrounding neighborhood is a beautiful place to walk, and the staff at The Novel are all warm and welcoming.
