Field is a Minneapolis neighborhood with a lot of charm

Field is a charming Minneapolis neighborhood along Minnehaha Creek with a close community and historic homes.

Early-1900s homes are slightly more expensive than surrounding areas

Homes in Field date back to the early 1900s, including colorful bungalows, Tudor Revivals and Craftsman styles. Many of these older properties still have original hardwood floors but have been renovated with modern appliances. There are also some New Traditional homes, which often blend in with the older architecture. Because so much of the neighborhood is older, there are back alleys leading to detached garages and driveways. The streets are also wide enough for street parking. Prices range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$800,000s, and the median single-family price is slightly higher than in Northrop and Regina.

The neighborhood association hosts popular events like the Duck Race

The Field Regina Northrop Neighborhood Group plans community events to bring people together, ranging from service-based programs such as regular creek clean-ups to more social get-togethers, like the Plant Swap at McRae Park every May. The annual Duck Race is by far the most popular event, where people cheer for thousands of rubber ducks as they float down Minnehaha Creek. Locals donate money to sponsor a duck, and the sponsors of the first 20 to cross the finish line win a prize. The group also has programs to help cover the cost of home or business improvement projects and rain garden installations.
