About Bedford County
Bedford County stretches from the Forest suburbs outside Lynchburg to the north shore of Smith Mountain Lake and up into the Peaks of Otter, which is why it holds the widest range of housing in the region: subdivision homes in Forest, a walkable historic downtown in the town of Bedford, lakefront and lake-access property around Moneta and Huddleston, and working acreage in between. The county rate is $0.41 per $100, the lowest of the counties we serve, and about 84.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
What Makes It Special
Lowest County Tax Rate We Serve
$0.41 per $100 of assessed value, set by the Board of Supervisors in a 4-3 vote against a $0.38 equalized rate. Lower than Franklin, Campbell, Amherst or Appomattox.
Smith Mountain Lake North Shore
Moneta, Huddleston and the Westlake corridor put lakefront, lake-access and water-view property inside Bedford County lines, alongside inland homes at a fraction of waterfront pricing.
Three Comprehensive High Schools
Jefferson Forest, Staunton River and Liberty anchor three distinct feeder patterns across roughly 9,100 students, and zoning can change within a two-mile stretch.
National D-Day Memorial
Sited in the town of Bedford because the community suffered the highest per-capita losses of any American town on 6 June 1944. It remains the county's defining civic landmark.
Peaks of Otter and the Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway crosses the county's northern edge at Sharp Top and Flat Top, giving Bedford and Thaxton addresses genuine mountain access rather than a mountain view.
Forest to Lynchburg Commute
The county's largest residential concentration sits directly west of Lynchburg, close enough that Forest functions as a commuter suburb while keeping Bedford County tax rates and schools.
