The Villages at Herron Lake consists of 395.28 acres, with 197.59 acres being developable. Several large sections of the site are cleared and farmed, the remainder wooded. There are streams that bisect the property.
The Villages at Herron Lake has preliminary plan approval for 1,457 units, including rental apartments, condominiums, townhomes, and single-family homes. Located in the southwest corner of Blue Ball and Zeitler Road, Parcel 1 is proposed for 540 apartment units on 36.03 acres. Apartments are offered at $9,000 per unit, far below market value.
Public water and sewer are located within a half mile of the site. However, capacity should be verified with Cecil County and a local engineering firm. Portions of the site had previously been used for munitions detonation and remediation was completed in 2011.
