Welcome to Trolley Palm

“Outstanding place to rent as somone with a family and pets! Brand new park 2 minutes away and 3 minutes from downtown! Axel the maintenance man works super hard to keep everything up and running and hes been working by himself for majority of the time Ive lived here, but he does an outstanding and professional job and anytime i see him he is always smiling and happy to be doing his job! Hes very knowledgeable and has even explained things in ways that made sense to me so that i wasnt confused about what was going on. Stephanie the Office Manager has been truly wonderful here, things are being scheduled quickly and with regards to our own schedule as well. She is super nice and is willing to talk any time you see her and has been nothing but helpful since she came here!”

“A Gem of a Manager and breath of fresh air at Trolley Palm Apartments Stephanie, the manager at Trolley Palm Apartments, is an absolute delight! From the moment I moved in, she has been nothing short of amazing. Stephanie goes above and beyond to ensure that any concerns or issues are promptly addressed. She's incredibly helpful, always ready with a solution or a listening ear. Her professionalism combined with her friendly demeanor create a welcoming atmosphere heree I've been living here for some time now, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Stephanie's dedication to making this community a great place to live is evident in every interaction. Her attention to detail and commitment to resident satisfaction are truly commendable.”

“I am a current resident of Trolley Palm apartments as of this review. I’ve lived here with my cat Thomas for almost 4 years now. This apartment complex changed dramatically for the better two or three years back, sold to a new owner who has since spent many, many millions of dollars renovating and upgrading everything. I have seen a few of the fully renovated unites (I think most are all renovated now) and they are spectacular, very well done. Nearly everything here has been modernized, brought up to code. It’s now professionally managed by Sunrise Management. You can manage everything by your phone, repair request, rent, leases, etc. The laundry rooms all have new modern machines operated by a phone app. Access to the rooms are through a digital card pass, as is the pool. They spent a fortune and completely re-landscaped the entire property. They have also contracted with a pest control service, so that is not a problem here. Trolley Palm is not the new steel and cement block everyone builds today (cheaper), it has several green open grass areas, lots of huge palm trees, all of which are well maintained. They have a very nice pool that is also well maintained and it’s under palm trees, how cool is that! The place is truly pet friendly, lots of people have cat’s and dog’s here. The open grass areas are designed for them. Yes, this is an older building that has been massively renovated. But this older building’s apartment units (built, maybe 80’s?) are larger. You can compare the square footage yourself, but if you have been shopping for apartments you already know the newer ones are pretty, but everything is smaller. It’s a preference, but I personally love the larger (and greener) living space The Trolley station is just across the street from Trolley Palm apartments. I can do Downtown San Diego events, the beach, dance clubs, Comic-Con, bars, Mexico, whatever! It’s kind of fun, party, relax a little and not have to worry driving. You arrive home a 90 second walk back to your apartment. It’s nice! A unique advantage to this location unlike most all of Downtown La Mesa is there is no shortage of parking here, in downtown La Mesa parking is sparse and you pay. So, if a friend comes over to my apartment they can legally (and safely) park at the trolley station for 24 hours (free too!) and it’s just a 90 second walk to Trolley Palm apartments. We all have assigned parking spots here, so your personal spot is secured. The parking situation here at Trolley Palm is awesome good! Speaking of location. It about a six-minute walk to Downtown La Mesa from Trolley Palm apartments. So I’m six minutes away from all kinds of Downtown resources, events, nightlife. It’s a fun area to live, I often go to Denny's for breakfast, it's right next door to Trolley Palm. Also, car shows, Octoberfest, Farmers Market, beer, dancing festivals, etc. on La Mesa Boulevard. Nearly across the street from the other side of Trolley Palm apartments is a gorgeous brand-new park, opened just a few weeks ago. Super modern, never seen anything like it. Much of the play equipment is made for adults too. The parallel bars are over 8 feet High. Now, about my personal experiences with management at Trolley Palm. It was just chaos 4 years ago. However, after the property was sold, renovated, and now managed by Sunrise Management; everything settled down. I have lived in 3 other apartments in the past 15 years. This by far has been the most positive experience and I feel the new owner and Sunrise Management are doing a much better than average job. I really have no complaints, repair requests have been completed timely, staff have been professional, courteous and responsive. A few even exceptionally kind! You know who you are and it is to you Thomas and I dedicate this review.”
