Ready to call NOVEL Scott’s Addition home? 

My husband lived at NOVEL Scott's Addition for a year and loved it. After we got engaged, he moved into my place. But after adjusting to the new apartment and considering a renewal for a one year lease we decided to reconsider NOVEL. We walked in at 4:30 on a Saturday, basically the end of Melissa's workday.

But after adjusting to the new apartment and considering a renewal for a one year lease we decided to reconsider NOVEL. We walked in at 4:30 on a Saturday, basically the end of Melissa's workday. She didn't act like it. We discussed the unit we wanted and filled out our application and she double-checked everything on her end. We didn't finish up until almost 6:00, well after closing, and never once felt rushed. Melissa was a joy to be around during that time. We swapped stories while she handed out treats and hugs to the community dogs who kept stopping by. As we were leaving, she confirmed our application had gone through and surprised us with Cirrus Vodka gift cards. Such a thoughtful touch, and we hadn't even moved in yet. The staff here is incredible. Big thank you to Melissa.

After living here for 13 months, I wanted to leave a review of my experience. This has easily been my favorite apartment I’ve lived in, both in Richmond and New York City. The building is beautiful, always clean, feels genuinely high-end, and the location is hard to beat. The biggest difference, though, has been Melissa and the staff.

The building is beautiful, always clean, feels genuinely high-end, and the location is hard to beat. The biggest difference, though, has been Melissa and the staff. A few people from the office team have moved on since I first got here, and they were great too, but the current team is just as good, if not better. I’ve always enjoyed stopping by the lobby and saying hello, and they do a great job making the building feel like more than just a place you rent. The community side is also really strong. The building hosts events throughout the year, residents organize their own events both on-site and at local businesses, and there have been things like dog adoption events and other community-focused activities that make it feel more connected than most apartment buildings. There are a few minor things worth knowing if you’re considering moving in. Nearby construction has occasionally been noisy, some units may get more light from the surrounding parking/stadium area at night, the pool loses direct sun relatively early in the afternoon, and there have been occasional issues with things like the garage gates. That said, none of these have been persistent problems, and one thing I’ve really appreciated is how quickly the building and maintenance teams respond whenever something does come up. They’ve always been very quick to fix issues, communicate, and accommodate residents where they can. Ultimately, I’m moving because my priorities changed more than anything else. This building offers a really high quality of life, and I think the premium makes sense for the location, amenities, upkeep, and overall experience. At this point, though, I found myself prioritizing more square footage over having quite as much luxury, so I decided to move a little farther outside the city for more space. If my priorities were different, I’d happily keep living here. I’ve genuinely loved my time here and will miss the building, the location, and especially the people.

Overall this is an incredibly beautiful facility -with the endless amenities you would only wish for. A large and welcoming bonus, was the neighbors! (These are boardline strangers at this point, as you've hardly had an opportunity to get to know everyone, but with no questions asked they're willing to help you settle in by any means… Overall this is an incredibly beautiful facility -with the endless amenities you would only wish for. A large and welcoming bonus, was the neighbors! (These are boardline strangers at this point, as you've hardly had an opportunity to get to know everyone, but with no questions asked they're willing to help you settle in by any means necessary. Right off the start, I confidently feel like I've made a wonderful decision! As a young professional looking to start a new chapter of life- I truly look forward to creating many new memories as well as creating friendships through all the activities & events held weekly!

We've lived here for a year now and have just loved our time here so far. The culture of neighborliness here is unlike any other apartment complex we've lived in. The dog park squad runs deep, the amenities are amazing (for hosting especially)!, and the staff have been so great to us.
