Hornig Companies Introduces a New Look and Enhanced Website!

Appfolio Websites • February 2, 2023

Cheers to the new year! We are excited to share our new logo, which blends the letter “H” and a vintage key to represent the foundation of Hornig Companies. All Hornig Companies’ buildings are family-owned, and family is the building block of our organization. We put our name our buildings because we are proud of who we are and what our company represents. 


The vintage key represents the roots of Hornig Companies. Since the acquisition of our first building in 1958, we have specialized in older, classic buildings. The first buildings purchased were early and mid-century buildings. We have grown our portfolio today to include buildings with a variety of history, charm, originality and quality.


Further, the three rings in the key represent past, present and future, as well as the three generations of Hornig family members who built and continue to operate the company. We look back to honor our past generations and forward to all that is yet to come. 


As we continue to invest in the future of our business, we adopted a new user platform including an updated website and resident portal. The experience was carefully planned to help meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our goal is to provide an easy connection to Hornig Companies staff and to make it easy for you to find exactly what you need. The new website and resident portal are mobile first making it easy to access whatever you need wherever you may be! 


Applicants have a streamlined application process. Tasks like inviting a roommate to apply and walking through the application process are very intuitive and easy to navigate.


Current residents can easily pay rent, submit a work order, and accessing electronically stored documents through the portal. We are also pleased to announce that ACH rent payments are free of charge on the new platform! You can make one time or recurring payments from the comfort of home with no processing fees. 


Since our new site went live in December, we have already received positive feedback from residents and applicants. We love to hear that our improvements are making life easier! Our new look combines Hornig Companies’ strong foundation and bright future. Thank you for letting us share both with you.

Winter Tips for Apartment Dwellers

By Appfolio Websites • December 12, 2023
Air Conditioners: Here’s a surprise…Winters in Minnesota don’t require air conditioning! If you have a window air conditioner in your unit without a sleeve, it should be removed for the season. Air conditioners in sleeves should have their covers on. Hornig Companies’ reliable maintenance service can remove and provides covers as a benefit to you. Just submit a work order and we’ll take care of it for you!

Indoor Plants and Patio Gardens for Apartment Living

By Appfolio Websites • March 17, 2023
Plants and flowers provide so many benefits. They can make your place look comfortable, warm and inviting. They provide a pop of color just where you need it and offer an endless list of health benefits. For example, the aloe plant is useful after a day of forgotten sunscreen, the scent of the lavender plant has been associated with calming and assisting in restful sleep, herb gardens can be grown indoors or on a patio to add flavor to your cooking and many garden vegetables like tomatoes and peppers can grow in a variety of different pots and planters on the smallest of patios! There are so many varieties to choose from! Once you’ve decided on the plant that’s right for you, here are some tips to keep them at their healthiest as well as pictures from Hornig Companies’ residents that have made great indoor and patio gardens! The Right Lighting Follow the instruction tag you get with the plant regarding light and sunlight. Some plants thrive in less light or shade, where some may need 6 hours per day minimum of full, direct sunlight. West and south facing windows are best, but LED lights designed for plant growth or fluorescent lighting can be used to add to or replace sunlight. Tip: fluorescent lights are just as effective as the specialized growth lights, and less expensive!
