Smith Mountain Lake's commercial heart — the Westlake corridor's shopping and dining, and the lake's broadest range of homes, from water-access condos to premier waterfront estates.
Moneta anchors the northern Franklin and Bedford County sides of Smith Mountain Lake — as odd as it sounds, Moneta spans both counties — and includes the Westlake corridor and the Halesford Bridge commercial area, the lake's main hubs for groceries, dining, medical care, and everyday errands. For many buyers it's the most convenient base on the lake: you're close to services without giving up pristine waterfront.
Westlake shopping and dining, Bridgewater Plaza on the water, marinas, medical offices, and quick access to Route 122. It's the part of the lake where day-to-day life is simplest.
Moneta carries the widest spread of any community on the lake — water-access townhomes and condos, off-water single-family homes, and some of the lake's most significant waterfront estates. That range is exactly why it suits such different buyers, from first-time second-home owners to top-of-market waterfront purchasers.
