Property Ratings at Novel Cary
I've been living here for a short time and truly appreciate the welcoming community atmosphere. The staff, especially Ayla who gave me the initial tour, have been outstanding, friendly and very professional. Zac also did an amazing job welcoming me and going over all the move in stuff on moving day. The amenities are excellent, and my apartment feels like home. There have been a few hiccups along the way, but they were resolved quickly and with care. I love that I get to call Novel Cary home.

Creating a private and welcoming environment is very important to us, and it’s wonderful to know it’s making a positive impact. We're glad to have you here! Sincerely, Your NOVEL Cary Team
Novel Cary is incredible! Between the multiple grill area, work from home space, dog park, two-story gym, board game tables, and the community kitchen, it is very easy to feel at home here. The community is outgoing enough to feel welcomed, but not keeping you up late at night. The location is also a highlight - right off 55 and with just about every grocery store close by. It couldn't be more perfect
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review

We also agree—our location makes everyday errands and commuting a breeze! We're so glad you're feeling at home here. If there's ever anything you need, don't hesitate to reach out! Sincerely, Your NOVEL Cary Team
For the most part quiet/ low level of airplane noise. So far it’s been safe, and the grounds are kept very clean. It would be nice, if there were screens on the windows.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
Greetings! Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the quiet atmosphere and cleanliness of the grounds.

I highly recommend Novel Cary to anyone looking for a modern and comfortable place to live. My husband and I have been very happy here from the day we moved in. We have been especially impressed with the management staff. They go above and beyond to ensure we have a very positive living experience. The amenities are outstanding and the location is terrific. We love it here!!! Sandy F.

I really appreciate how quiet the apartment complex is, with minimal outside noise, creating a peaceful living environment. I also enjoy both the exterior and interior design, particularly the kitchen layout. The spacious cabinets with customizable shelves are a great feature, and the large fridge and freezer offer plenty of room. Additionally, the big sink is very convenient for daily use. I especially love the spacious countertops, including the two corner areas, which provide ample space for cooking and organizing.

Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we are doing! Your feedback is very important to us. SWincerely, Novel Cary
For the first day, it seemed the furnishing for the apartment seemed rushed coming from the quickly glued vinyl floor, but their devotion towards providing the best service and resources is always shown.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we are doing! We are extremely devoted to resident satisfaction, and we are so happy you noticed! SIncerely, Sara King
I recently moved into a new apartment, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The entire leasing staff was exceptionally nice and helpful, making the transition smooth and stress-free. I’d like to extend a special thanks to Zac, who went above and beyond throughout the entire lease process. His assistance was invaluable and truly made a difference. Overall, it was a very positive experience.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
You've made our day! And Zac's too - THANK YOU so much for taking the time to write the review and shoutout our team. We look forward to an awesome year with you here at Novel Cary!
This is an absolutely lovely community. I was so impressed with my visit here, that no other apartment was going to be acceptable after that. In no apartment have I ever had the luxury of the storage options here. The community area is amazing, and I am proud to host my friends for a casual gathering that is impressive and comfortable. It's a great place to live! You don't have to travel far to get anything you need! I would like to especially call out Marina and Zach for their kindness, graciousness, and attention to requests and prompt responses prior to my arrival and thereafter.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
What an awesome review. Thank you so much!! We love Marina and Zach too and look forward to seeing you and your friends more!
I absolutely love my apartment. It is compact and perfect for me in a one bedroom. I have never seen so much storage in a compact space. The appliances are lovely, very up to date. The security of the smart locks and the inner entryways to the apartments give me more peace of mind than ever! The valet trash is very convenient. Beautiful landscaping. Obvious community is obvious with the lavish spaces for our use. Comfy seating areas, gorgeous pool, community cooking classes, Saturday breakfasts, and 18 choices of coffees from a dispenser, even cold brew up front!!??? What??? The leasing staff are hospitable and informative. Last but not least, my favorite businesses, restaurants, fast food, the best grocery stores and even an authentic French bakery are less than a mile away! This is apartment heaven.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
We are flattered by your raving review! We can't wait for you to see all the amazing things to come at NOVEL Cary! Thank you for being a part of wonderful community! Sara King
Novel Cary is a great community, however due to the lack of 24 hour security please be prepared to pay car insurance deductibles due to car break ins caused by local delinquents.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your feedback. Please call us in the office if we can help directly.
I’ve been here for a while, and since moving here have had nothing but great experiences. The staff is amazing and friendly. Additionally, they care about the community, and the amenities here are great too. Atmosphere means a lot to me, and this vibe is worth tuning into.
Property Manager at Novel Cary, Responded To This Review
WOW! Thank for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review! We really appreciate the shout-out! NOVEL Cary truly is \"a vibe\". Sincerely, Sara King

I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay thus far at Novel Cary. The property is beautiful, and the staff are attentive. I have an apartment facing the wooded area, and there is a mini trail that I enjoy taking whenever I want to get to the amenity area. In addition to that, the appliances are Samsung (all of them) and I love that. I'm so glad I moved here.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your experience has been great and that you feel welcomed by our friendly management team and neighbors. We're excited to have you as part of our community!
We have lived in numerous communities and none have EVER compared to Novel. As the name suggests, the living experience here is new and like nothing we’ve ever experienced. The design throughout the property is thoughtful and elevated and the amenities are just as amazing. Perhaps the best part of living here is the feeling of community that is created through the many elevated complex events like brunch, yoga, how-to cooking classes, weekly chefs, etc. If you are looking for luxury with a down to earth, community feel then look no further. You will NOT be disappointed!
