Trolley Plaza Apartments: DO NOT MOVE HERE (Not Recommending)

2008-10-03T10:10:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here for several years and will be moving out as soon as the lease expires. The new management company is POOR.

Trolley Plaza Apartments: Good on the inside.... (Recommending!)

2008-05-11T22:24:12-06:00

From veeneydriver: Living in the building is great....very quiet, 24 hour security, functional (but slow) elevators. Only problems are street parking when there's a tiger's or lions game, and the people loitering on the street during the warm months. i can't say walking on the street is completely safe after the sun ...

2008-01-26T19:27:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If it hadn't been for the two year lease I signed when I moved in, I would have left LONG AGO!
