Keswick is an unincorporated community in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States, about ten miles east of Charlottesville. Keswick has few businesses, so there is nothing that could be called a business center. It is mostly a residential area, with a mixture of large farms, estates, middle-income, and low-income houses that is reflective of rising property values and increasing development in the area, due to urban expansion from Charlottesville. Since many of the properties in Keswick are large, it is relatively undeveloped and still retains its natural beauty, which is enhanced by a prominent view of the Southwest Mountains. The town includes Keswick Hall, a club and estate, which includes a golf course. A rail line runs through the town. It is now owned by CSX and it carries freight. The Shackelford family, long prominent in Albemarle and Orange counties and in the Monticello Association, has a family cemetery in Keswick.Keswick is near Oakland School in Boyd Tavern.
