Hardy sits on the western end of Smith Mountain Lake, spanning parts of Bedford and Franklin counties. It pairs lake living with the most convenient shopping on the lake, and it is easy to reach from Routes 220 and 460, which makes it a favorite for buyers who still drive into the Roanoke Valley.
As of November 2026, there are about 25 homes, condos and townhomes for sale in Hardy tied to Smith Mountain Lake, priced from roughly $280,000 to about $1.6 million. The average asking price is close to $675,000. Hardy also stands out for value: its average price per square foot is around $260, compared with roughly $355 across the lake as a whole. Figures come from live MLS data, change daily and are rounded.
Westlake Towne Center is the lake's main everyday shopping area, with a Kroger, restaurants, shops, urgent care, the Westlake Cinema and the lake's LOVEworks sculpture. The Westlake Golf and Country Club is close by, along with two marinas.
Hardy is also home to the Booker T. Washington National Monument, which preserves the farm where the educator was born in 1856. Visitors can tour the exhibits and walk two trails through the farm and garden areas.
