Howard's Place is a family owned and operated business that has been passed down for many years. It was originally a mobile home park for families and has since been turned into student housing for Eastern Arizona College students who would like to live off campus. Some of the mobile homes have been removed over the past 10 years and brand new apartment buildings have been built in their place
Ron purchased the business from his father about 15 years ago. Before that, his parents, Gene & Dorothy Howard, owned and operated it as Howard's Mobile Paradise Villa and rented to some families as well as college students for many, many years.
Scott is the son of Ronald and Janice and currently does the maintenance work on the park. His wife Shelley handles all the rentals and paperwork. They met at Howard's Mobile Paradise Villa 26 years ago while attending EAC and after Scott served a mission to Argentina for his church, they were married. They have been married for 23 years and have five children.

Lunch is served between 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. We also serve breakfast burritos in the morning if you need something on the go.
We are open year round and we follow Thatcher School District's calendar, so we are closed on their holidays.
