The magic of a great city lies in the inspiring collisions it creates—smells, sounds, cultures, personalities, lifestyles, and experiences. A city allows you to connect, explore, and engage with something new, different, and exciting. It is a place that evolves and grows—a realm of discovery and wonder. Great urban experiences are forged through proximity and the inclusive mindset fostered when your neighborhood is full of people you know well and interact with daily.

For those who wish to come as close as possible to "living the city" while enjoying nature every day, NOVEL River District is the best place in the entire city to blend an active outdoor lifestyle with an authentic urban experience.
