Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Keswick, VA

Keswick is an unincorporated census-designated place in Albemarle County, Virginia, about six miles east of Charlottesville.

Keswick first appeared as a census-designated place in the 2020 U.S. census, which counted just 321 residents there.

Keswick has few businesses and no central business district, remaining predominantly residential with a mixture of large farms, estates, and middle- and low-income housing.

Many of Keswick's estates began as plantations in the 18th century, giving the area a deep colonial-era farming heritage.

Almost no major development took place in Keswick until the 1990s, and development since then has been subject to strict scrutiny by Albemarle County officials.

Keswick is home to Keswick Hall, a 600-acre luxury resort whose northern wing contains Villa Crawford, an Italianate private estate built in 1912 for the Robert Crawford family.

The Keswick Club's Full Cry golf course, designed by Pete Dye over an earlier Fred Findlay layout renovated by Arnold Palmer in 1992, was named one of Golf Digest's best new courses of 2014.

Castle Hill, a Keswick-area estate dating to 1764, is now home to Castle Hill Cider, tying the community to Virginia's historic cider-making tradition.

East Belmont, Limestone, and the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District in the Keswick area are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Keswick postal delivery area is much larger than the CDP itself, stretching north nearly to Gordonsville and west to Stony Point and covering small communities such as Cismont, Cobham, and Boyd Tavern.
