The neighborhoods of Hale, Page and Diamond Lake (HPDL) represent an "unsung jewel" of South Minneapolis.  The HPDL neighborhoods boast outstanding residential areas with easy access to commercial and recreational areas in the metro area.  Natural amenities grace our neighborhood with its many parks, green spaces and bodies of water, including Diamond Lake, Minnehaha Creek-with its paths and trails and Lake Nokomis. HPDL has two excellent schools: one Minneapolis public elementary school (Hale) and one K-8 parochial school (Our Lady of Peace).   This community offers an upscale grocery market, restaurants that range from fine dining to family Italian, a coffee bistro, and many more that offer quality and convenience.
