Keswick is a town in Albemarle county, Virginia, located about ten miles east of Charlottesville, at about 38 degrees north latitude and 78.3 degrees west longitude. 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 close view of the Blue Ridge 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.
