Here’s what to know, whether you’re selling, buying or just curious.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What to know
Mainly a residential neighborhood, it features a close-knit community of just over 2,500 residents.
Field is conveniently positioned less than 5 miles from downtown Minneapolis, and just east of 35W as well as about halfway between Lake Harriet and Lake Nokomis. The neighborhood is bordered to the south by Minnehaha Creek, which provides a path for walking, running, or biking.
There were two major building surges that were responsible for the development found in the Field neighborhood. The first spurt was in the 1920’s and 30’s, initialized by the use of stucco, with larger two-storey Tudor homes. The second spurt occurred after WW II, featuring story-and-a-half starter homes often built with brick.

The Turtle Bread Company is one of several businesses within the neighborhood. A local bakery specializing in artisan breads, pastries, and desserts, the Turtle Bread Company has been baking since 1994. With several locations around the city, Turtle Bread believes that quality bread takes time, hence the turtle in the name. Visitors can also enjoy breakfast and lunch at the bakery.
Town Hall Tap is a local favorite bar and grill. Owned and operated by the well-renowned Town Hall Brewery, “The Tap” hosts a wide variety of specialty microbrews and a rotating selection of guest beers. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a variety of pub foods.
For many years, Pepito’s has been a popular Mexican attraction for not only the neighborhood, but also the Twin Cities Area.
