The Howard Apartments

Welcome to The Howard—a distinctive apartment community in Eau Claire, thoughtfully transformed from a former Howard Johnson hotel into stylish, fully renovated living spaces. With a variety of floor plans including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms (many with a private patio or balcony), there’s something for every lifestyle.

Each apartment blends sustainability and comfort, featuring durable concrete construction, stainless steel appliances, two-tone cabinetry, and unique LED lighting. Neutral tones and raw design elements give residents the flexibility to personalize their space.

Community amenities include a spacious lounge, on-site laundry, a large grassy courtyard, and electric vehicle charging stations. Located at the corner of Stein and Clairemont, The Howard offers walkable access to coffee shops, restaurants, hospitals, UWEC, and CVTC—plus quick connections to all areas of Eau Claire.

Best of all: all utilities are included in your rent.
