Goodview rewards anyone who loves mornings on the water and evenings under big Appalachian skies. Tucked along the upper reaches of Smith Mountain Lake, this community blends quiet, wooded roads with easy access to the amenities of Bedford County and the urban energy of nearby Roanoke. Commuters appreciate the US‑24 corridor for quick trips to job centers in Roanoke County and Salem, while weekend plans often involve a boat, a trail, or both.
Outdoors, it’s hard to beat the mix of coves and mountains. Launch a kayak or cast for striped bass at the expansive Smith Mountain Lake State Park, where sandy beaches, boat rentals, and miles of shoreline trails make it a four-season destination. For panoramic drives and hiking, the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway is a national treasure, offering overlooks, picnic spots, and access to famed footpaths. Closer to home, quiet country lanes invite cycling, while local farms and roadside stands keep fresh produce in the pantry.
Families are served by Bedford County Public Schools, noted for community-oriented campuses, robust extracurriculars, and regionally competitive fine arts and athletics. With larger-city conveniences—healthcare, dining, arts, and college sports—just down the road, Goodview manages a rare balance: space to spread out, water at the doorstep, and an easy link to culture and careers.
