Taking its name from the Helena River that flows through the town, Helena Valley has a great rural atmosphere. Located just 30 minutes from the centre of Perth, Helena Valley was first settled by the Smith family of Clayton Farm about 1850.
The Railway Reserve Heritage Trail, from Perth to York, runs close to the town, providing excellent bushwalks and bird watching. On Scott Street is a small shopping centre where you will find a medical centre, pharmacy, newsagent and delicatessen and petrol station.
