The original home is still standing and is located on Woodthorpe Road close to Victoria Park Avenue. The name Herron Valley comes from the Herron family who historically owned land in the area. Historically the area was served by Herron Valley Junior High School, now closed. The area was developed in the 1950s by a group of investors led by Progressive Conservative MP Robert Henry McGregor. Many apple trees can still be found in the neighbourhood. Much of the neighbourhood was originally owned by the Herron family, who operated an orchard on the property. A significant portion of the single detached homes in the area abut valley areas, notably the Charles Sauriol Conservation Reserve. Several commercial buildings are also present along the Don Valley Parkway, near Eglinton Avenue.Р”В«ecause the neighbourhood borders the Don River some of the homes have stunning views overlooking the Don Valley, which forms a part of the Toronto ravine system.

Apartments and condos are mostly located on the borders of the area, Lawrence, Eglinton and Victoria Park Avenues.

The neighbourhood has many high- and low-rise buildings, which provide affordable living and are located on the edges of the neighbourhood, with mostly bungalows, some semi-detached homes, and some two-storey detached (either rebuilt bungalows, or built after the initial period of construction, which occurred mostly from the late 1950s-1960s). Several commercial buildings are located near the Don Valley Parkway, on Eglinton.
