The ScoopThe Neighborhood Philosophy

Hale is the premium side of Lake Nokomis. Tucked between the creek and the lake, it features higher-end homes, grander streets, and a very strong neighborhood association. It feels like Edina, but in the city.

Hale is directly under the flight path. The 'MAC Improvements' (new windows/insulation paid for by the airport) are a major selling point. Check if the house has the 'package'.
