The King Field neighborhood became part of Minneapolis in 1887 when the southern border of Minneapolis was extended from 38th Street to 54th Street. King Field is mainly a residential area with three-fourths of its single-family houses built before 1920. The King Field neighborhood has a number of amenities including churches, schools, a park also named after Martin Luther King Jr., and three- to four-dozen small businesses. There are 14 murals in the neighborhood, part of the Kingfield Mural Map. The mural map began in 2003 when the Kingfield Neighborhood Association began encouraging professional artists to partner with neighborhood youths to create outdoor murals on local businesses.

As with all of southwest Minneapolis, access to the rest of the city is simple. Zoom up Lyndale and in just minutes you’re in Uptown or through to downtown. Jump on 35W or Highway 62 and in seconds and your just a few miles from the airport, several malls and the southern and western suburbs including Edina and Bloomington.
