What is Park Place at Smith Mountain Lake?
Park Place is a waterfront subdivision in Moneta, Virginia, on the central shoreline of Smith Mountain Lake. It covers 138 acres of hardwood forest and gently rolling hills divided into 119 residential home sites. Current listings in Park Place report no homeowners association and no annual dues, though recorded covenants and restrictions still run with each lot, and report paved, state-maintained roads and a community water system rather than individual wells.
The Blue Ridge Mountains stand off in the distance here, above water clear enough that Smith Mountain Lake has long been nicknamed the Lake Tahoe of the East. Its 119 home sites are large and gently graded, and waterfront lots here have been built with deep-water docks and covered lifts. The 37-acre Smith Mountain Lake Community Park sits next door, and Westlake Corner is about five miles away.

Park Place FAQs
Does Park Place have an HOA or annual dues?
Current listings in Park Place report no homeowners association and no annual dues. Recorded covenants and restrictions still run with the lots, so there are rules about what you can build even though there is no association collecting a fee. Ask for the recorded plat and covenants from the county circuit court clerk before you write an offer, since that document is what settles it.
Who maintains the roads in Park Place?
Listings in Park Place report paved, state-maintained roads, which would put resurfacing and snow clearing on the state rather than on owners, and a community water system rather than individual wells. Both are lot-level facts, so confirm them in writing for the specific lot before you write an offer.
What is within walking distance of Park Place?
The 37-acre Smith Mountain Lake Community Park sits adjacent to the neighborhood. It opened in June 2007 and includes a seasonal lifeguarded beach, an ADA accessible fishing pier that is partly covered, a kayak and canoe launch, 1.7 miles of walking trails, two picnic shelters with grills, a playground and restrooms.
Can you put a boat dock on a Park Place lot?
Waterfront home sites in Park Place front the central shoreline, and lots here have been built with deep-water docks and covered lifts. Usable depth comes from the shoreline contour rather than from the lot itself, and docks at Smith Mountain Lake are permitted under Appalachian Power's Shoreline Management Plan, so check what that plan allows for a specific lot before you buy.
How far is Park Place from shopping and restaurants?
Westlake Corner, the main commercial hub at Smith Mountain Lake for dining, shopping and everyday errands, is about five miles from Park Place. That distance is the practical trade most buyers are making here: a wooded, low-density setting on the water, with the busiest part of the lake close enough for a short drive rather than a walk.
