I moved in about nine months ago and have enjoyed living here. My apartment is beautiful, and the amenities are fantastic including a well-equipped gym, a study and library area, a cafe downstairs that’s wonderful, and a rooftop that is absolutely gorgeous. The building also hosts community events which have been great when I’ve had time to attend and the hosts are very kind too.
The staff is where this building really shines. Maintenance is quick and reliable, the 24-hour concierge team especially Sally and Antoine have been wonderful, and I always feel that management truly cares when I have questions. Johnny is always responsive and helpful, and Karston made my entire move-in and application process seamless. Connor is always very responsive and helpful too. Across the board, the management here is kind and supportive.
The only thing I’d mention is that as the building has filled up, I’ve experienced some uncomfortable microaggressions from a few residents. It’s not everyone, but it’s been enough to make me reconsider at times, and it’s worth being honest about when sharing my overall experience.
Everything else about this building from the quality of the apartments, the responsiveness of management, the great amenities, and its convenient location near the metro has made it a nice place to live.

Moved into Novel a few months ago. It’s a nice building with an incredible roof and view. The best part is the Apartment Life people (Lexi & Wolf) who live in the building are awesome and they put on awesome fun themed events almost every week with great eats from around town. Highly recommend!

I went to one of the community Apartment Life events at Novel and had so much fun. It was great to get together with the community. It sounds like there was always something fun happening - from rooftop dinners to yoga classes or trivia nights. Can't wait to learn more!

We had an incredible experience working with Johnny during our move to Novel on 14th. From the very beginning, he was charismatic, attentive, and truly listened to what we were looking for. We were dealing with some challenges at our previous complex, and Johnny went above and beyond by even researching options to help us understand how we could…
We had an incredible experience working with Johnny during our move to Novel on 14th. From the very beginning, he was charismatic, attentive, and truly listened to what we were looking for. We were dealing with some challenges at our previous complex, and Johnny went above and beyond by even researching options to help us understand how we could get out of that lease; something he absolutely didn’t have to do, but it made a huge difference for us.
He showed us a wide range of apartments, thoughtfully balancing our budget with our lifestyle, and he really took into account the things we didn’t like about our old place. Every showing felt intentional, not rushed or cookie-cutter. Johnny also made the entire move-in process seamless and stress-free, which is saying a lot when it comes to apartment moves.
We are new to D.C. and Johnny took the time to talk to us about the surrounding neighborhood and genuinely shared his enthusiasm for the Novel community. It’s clear he truly loves his job and believes in the place he works and lives! His energy is contagious! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful for his support throughout the process. Highly recommend Novel!

We have had a wonderful experience living in novel 14th. We toured the building on a whim and leasing agent Johnny met us with warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism. It’s clear he loves his work! Once we were sold on novel being our new home, Johnny and the whole novel team made the process easy and clear. We love it here!
