Fernvale is a neighbourhood of Sengkang New Town in Singapore. It is located between Punggol River and Jalan Kayu. The house numbers of the public apartment blocks in Fernvale begin with the number '4' (4xx). Fernvale is the newest neighbourhood in Sengkang New Town to be completed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB). Seletar Mall, a new shopping amenity which houses Sengkang's first cineplex, is located within this neighbourhood.
Before 2003, the only way to go to Fernvale was Service 371 from Sengkang Bus Terminal. Now, the Fernvale neighbourhood is linked to the Sengkang Bus Interchange and MRT/LRT Station at the town centre via bus services originating from the Sengkang Bus Interchange and other parts of the island. The west loop of Sengkang LRT Line also serves the area, passing by 4 stops located within the neighborhood(Layar, Fernvale, Thanggam and Kupang). The service 371 was later replaced by 163 and 163M, where 163M is also acting as a feeder bus service.
A new bus service 50, was introduced to ply between Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, Sengkang & Punggol neighbourhoods on 15 December 2012.
Bus service 103 has been extended from Seletar Airport to Yishun Temporary Bus Interchange to connect the workers in Seletar Aerospace Park to Yishun Town. It also serves as an alternative service to Yishun for Fernvale residents living very close to Jalan Kayu.
The area is within the vicinity of Jalan Kayu, the proposed Sengkang West Industrial Park along Sengkang West Road and Seletar Hills Estate along Yio Chu Kang Road. Due to the construction of Sengkang West Road, a section of Jalan Kayu between Sengkang West Avenue and Yio Chu Kang Road has to be closed to traffic.
