Getting there

The Common Market from Chantilly

The Common Market sits in Plaza Midwood, about 1 mile north from the Chantilly street grid. From most of the neighborhood the practical routes east and north are Commonwealth Avenue and Central Avenue; Independence Boulevard (US-74) is faster toward Uptown and the southeast, and the Briar Creek greenway covers much of the same ground on foot or by bike.

Parking in this part of Charlotte is a mix of small dedicated lots and residential street parking with posted restrictions. On weekend evenings the Plaza Midwood and Central Avenue nodes fill early — arriving before seven, or walking in from the neighborhood, is the local habit.

Why it earns a place in this guide: part bodega, part bar, entirely essential to the neighborhood's social life. Within the market & grocer category near Chantilly it is one of the destinations residents name unprompted, which is the only inclusion standard this guide applies.
