I had an exceptional touring experience at Novel Morrisville. The property is stunning and the amenities truly make this place more than an apartment complex. The leasing staff were all excellent. Lexi was incredibly knowledgable, patient and supportive as I was making my decision on tour #2. I must also give a special shoutout to Stephanie. Her outstanding customer service and dynamic personality truly set this place apart. From the moment I walked in, Stephanie made me feel welcomed and valued. She has a remarkable ability to connect with prospective tenants on a personal level, ensuring that all of my questions were answered and that I felt confident in my decision. Novel Morrisville is a fantastic community, and the leasing teams dedication to their work is a big part of what makes it so special. Highly recommend! ---

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at NOVEL Morrisville! From the moment I walked through the doors, it was clear that this community stands out. The apartment itself is modern, spacious, and impeccably maintained, but what truly sets NOVEL Morrisville apart is the incredible staff, Ashley, Lexi and Stephanie. If you’re considering a move, I highly recommend NOVEL Morrisville. You won’t find a better place to live, thanks in no small part to this outstanding team!
