About Keene
Tucked into the scenic Tehachapi foothills, Keene offers a quiet rural lifestyle surrounded by oak trees and mountain views. The community originally grew as a 19th-century railroad stop, but it is most famous as the home base of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers movement. Today, the grounds of La Paz and the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument give the area a deep sense of history and community pride. For anyone looking to relocate here, Keene combines wide-open spaces and peaceful countryside living with an easy drive down to the Central Valley.
