Help Needed: Novo Las Olas Vs The Rise Flagler Village

Hey guys,

I’m getting ready to move to the area and have been touring apartments for the past 2 days. My girlfriend and I are really drawn to Novo Las Olas and The Rise at Flagler Village. They both have their pros and cons

Novo is more expensive with smaller rooms but it’s definitely a higher level of luxury and in a great location. Publix on the first floor is a big plus.

The Rise feels less luxurious and is in a worse location but you get more bang for your buck with the apartment space and the reviews show that the staff is really solid.

Does anybody have experience with these two spots? I’m 37m and my girlfriend is 25f. We are new to town and like to have fun, but wouldn’t want to be in a crazy place. Community/making friends is important to us so if you have any input on how the community environment is at each property, that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I’d like to add emphasis on the community aspect. Novo is def going to be better overall in terms of luxury. But i Would love to find a place with a strong community to build a good friend base.
