ABOUT US

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

RENTAL INFORMATION

We do require a full school year lease for our rentals from Aug. 15th – May 15th of the current school year for students. However, once in awhile there are extenuating circumstances which we will consider such as graduation and you may be allowed to sign a semester lease instead if it is approved through the manager.
 
If you are not student then we require a full year lease on apartments and mobile homes.

They come unfurnished but have all major appliances including refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, air conditioning and heating.

LAUNDROMAT

Laundromat facilities are a block away at The Station Laundromat right next to the college.

EAGLE'S ROOST

The Eagle’s Roost is located in the corner of the Park and is run by Scott Howard. We are open to the public. If you would like a quick lunch you are always welcome to stop by. 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. Please keep in mind that Scott is the one doing maintenance for the Park so if there is something you need fixed it will have to be done after he finishes up at The Eagle’s Roost for the day.
