If you're moving the trailer in and out a bunch of times a year, a permanent solution along the lines of what I wrote above is what you need to do.
The other solution, that I'd be inclined to do if you can line the trailer up dead straight perpendicular to the sidewalk/fence, and don't have to "turn" the trailer as you're backing in (which prolly means you're pulling onto the neighbors front lawn across the street)
is build a couple ramps you can drag out there and bridge over the dip.
Short of that working or the construction project, limit yourself to an off road camper, single axle, may give you the rear departure angle needed, or flip the axles on a normal camper, big a tires as you can get on it and lower the hitch to the ground almost when getting it in and out of the yard. And hope the sewer pipe or something else don't hang down in the back.
