REFERRALS
This is what tenants have to say about living here:
"Chris has been our landlord for the past four years. During this period, we have switched from one apartment to another within the same historic building in Minneapolis. One thing I really like about Chris is that he truly cares about his tenants and their satisfaction. For example, in our case, he has notified us promptly when a new and better unit became available in our building, and when a better parking spot became available. Despite our building being historic, Chris manages to keep it in very good condition by continuously upgrading it. He is truly a great landlord. His responsiveness is one of his best qualities (he always answers texts promptly). Living in the building next door, he is able to fix things shortly after being notified. When he travels, the caretaker living in our building is always ready to help."

"Chris is my landlord, and without question is the most respectful, conscientious, and responsive landlord I have ever met. Bar none. He lives on the property and maintains it meticulously, constantly improving and upgrading the historic building in which I live. Not only is he the finest of landlords, he's an absolute joy to have as a neighbor, as is his entire family. Every one of his tenants feels this way. Chris has created a genuine community on his property, a space in which we tenants feel safe and comfortable. I had originally only planned to stay until my dog passed away and then upgrade to a more expensive apartment or perhaps buy a condo once I wasn't limited by pet ownership, but I have scrapped that plan and intend to stay for the foreseeable future. I absolutely love living there."

"Chris and Monica are wonderful landlords. Whenever I have asked for a maintenance fix they have it done within a day or two. They are super kind and are always quick to respond to a phone call or text message. I have lived in two of their apartments and they have been beautifully redone and restored. Chris and Monica truly care about there residents. Highly recommend."

"Chris is very attentive to his residents - I have called or texted him to let him know about an issue and it has been resolved by the end of the day. He's a trustworthy landlord who lives in the building next door to the apartments and is always willing to answer a call or text and follow up. I had to move out for school, but this has been my favorite housing development to live in due to the beautiful area and the great service."

"Living here was such a wonderful experience - the building is well kept and the landlords are such caring people! They made my 5 yrs of downtown living comfortable, convenient, and affordable. Thank you!"

I relocated to Minneapolis last year and this was my very first studio apartment in the city! The building is beautiful with a lot of character. Chris is an incredible human being and extends himself above and beyond that expected of a landlord. He was more like a great neighbor to me than a landlord. I recommend living in any of his properties!

"I lived in the Historic Brownstones for a little over a year and loved it. It is an older building so some appliances are on the older side, but they work great. It is dog friendly and the location is convenient. The manager, Chris, is extremely helpful and always got back to me in a timely manner when I called or emailed. If anything needs fixing, it is done right away. Being an older building, noise was never a problem which was a huge plus as that is hard to find in the newer building that have paper thin walls. It has a very New York style feel to it being a walk up which I also loved. Two thumbs up to my experience here!

Living in these one of a kind apartments has been such a pleasure. Chris is honestly and truly the BEST landlord you will ever find, so if you have an opportunity to live here – you better take it! I can’t recommend it enough. We would have taken the apartment (and Chris!) with us had it been physically possible! We will miss living there – but will always remember it as one of the best places we’ve ever had the opportunity to call home.

Chris and Monica are wonderful landlords. They are kind, generous and always there if you need something. I could not have been more grateful to live in this lovely historic building, with great neighbors and great management. Have you seen the lovely garden? I highly recommend taking a look!
-Louisa
June 2013 to May 2014
I’ve lived in Chris’s Historic Brownstone Apartments for just over 4 years, in three different units. I have never been treated with anything other than kindness and respect as a tenant. Chris is understanding, compassionate, and the best landlord I have ever had. I am only moving out because I am relocating with my job – I wish I could just pick up HB and Chris and take them with me! If you want a constantly changing and beautiful garden, lovely and quiet apartments with character and charm, excellent location, and a fantastic landlord – Historic Brownstones is for you. Thank you Chris and Randy (Maintenance man and all around great guy) for a fantastic experience! You ROCK!
Love and gratitude,

Renting from Chris and Monica has been great. Chris responds to questions and requests quickly, and is always helpful, always friendly. Highly recommended.

I would love to tell anyone who is looking to live in the downtown area that living in the Historic Brownstones is PERFECT! Not only is the location incredibly convenient, but the rent is cheap! The landlord lives on the property and if there is ever a concern or issue it is addressed and taken care of the same day! On top of that, the neighbors are great. The Historic Brownstones have become a nice community and I've made friendships within these walls that I know will last a lifetime. If anyone is looking to live in the downtown area, this place will not let you down.
-Juliana Schroeder
I have lived here for over three years, and have had very few issues with my apartment. Whenever there was an issue, it was taken care of immediately. Chris and Monica go over and beyond to make this building a great place to live, and I would recommend living here to anyone!”
-Erin Laurie
Living in the Historic Brownstones has been a pleasure! The location is extremely convenient and I feel very safe in the building. Chris is a fantastic landlord, he responds to all of my requests very quickly and takes such good care of the building. I cannot imagine a better renting situation. I highly recommend living at the Historic Brownstones!

“Chris is an EXCELLENT landlord. He is very accommodating, willing to work with you, and very, very quick to respond to emails or calls, be it with a problem in the apartment, or just a quick question. I would definitely refer him to friends interested in renting in the area, and I won't be moving out until I am ready to buy. “
-Eric
“Chris is a fair landlord who takes immense pride in his building. He continually invests in his property and has created a quiet, ‘homey’ atmosphere here. Since my arrival, Chris has regularly repainted common areas, upgraded the wireless network, leased land behind the building to offer off street parking to his tenants, and completely renovated several units. He is always accommodating and is a constant presence in and around the building. I truly enjoy living here.”
And his flower garden in front of the building is something to behold during the warmer months.”
-Jeff Certain
Chris is an amazing landlord. He is respectful, kind, and understanding. All of the tenants in my building were carefully selected and are great neighbors. Chris is very prompt and happy to help with any issues that arise. I have lived in this building for 2 1/2 years and am very happy with my apartment. Chris often goes above and beyond other landlords I have has in the past. I feel very safe in this building and really enjoy my stay.
