There's isn't a default area for a project per-se, only an area for a team, a default team is created for your Team Project, so My Team Project will have aa team called My Team Project (or similar) and that will have an default area path.

Then you can do something like this:

TfsTeamProjectCollection collection = GetServer("<server_uri>");
string projectUri = GetProject(collection, "<project_name");

var configSvc = collection.GetService<TeamSettingsConfigurationService>();
var configs = configSvc.GetTeamConfigurationsForUser(new[] { projectUri });

foreach (TeamConfiguration config in configs)
{
    // Output some basic team info.
    Console.WriteLine("Team name: {0}", config.TeamName);
    Console.WriteLine("Team ID: {0}", config.TeamId);
    Console.WriteLine("Is default team: {0}", config.IsDefaultTeam);

    // Access the actual configuration settings.
    TeamSettings ts = config.TeamSettings;

    // Output the information on the teams iterations.
    Console.WriteLine("Product backlog: {0}", ts.BacklogIterationPath);
    Console.WriteLine("Current iteration: {0}", ts.CurrentIterationPath);

    Console.WriteLine("Team iteration paths:");

    foreach (string path in settings.IterationPaths)
        Console.WriteLine("  {0}", path);
}
