Fernvale Plains

Fernvale Plains is a substantial 1,037-unit development in Sengkang that introduces a pioneering Community Care Apartments (CCA) component alongside standard BTO flats. Spread across five blocks of 23 to 26 storeys, the project includes 207 CCA units designed for seniors who want independent living with access to care services, plus 25 Type 1 and 75 Type 2 2-room Flexi units, 368 4-room flats, and 362 5-room flats. This makes Fernvale Plains one of the larger BTO projects in the October 2025 exercise and a unique offering that integrates senior-friendly housing within a multi-generational community.\n\nThe CCA units come with furnished communal areas, senior-friendly design features such as grab bars and slip-resistant flooring, and proximity to a future nursing home within the development. Priced from just $5,000 including grants on a 30-year lease, the CCA units offer elderly homeowners an affordable and supported living option in a familiar neighbourhood. The standard BTO flats are competitively priced with 2-room Flexi from $42,000, 4-room from $264,000, and 5-room from $411,000.\n\nConnectivity is excellent, with Kupang LRT station just next door providing three stops to Sengkang MRT on the North-East Line. From Sengkang MRT, residents can reach the city centre in about 25 minutes. The LRT proximity is a significant advantage for a project at this price point.\n\nFamilies are well-catered for with four primary schools nearby: Anchor Green Primary, Fern Green Primary, Sengkang Green Primary, and Springdale Primary. Sengkang Riverside Park offers green space and waterfront leisure close to home. The development also features a green spine running through the estate with a playground, elderly fitness stations, a therapeutic garden, and a senior care centre.\n\nOne consideration for buyers is the proximity to Seletar Airbase, which may result in occasional aircraft noise. The short waiting time of approximately 32 months is a plus, and the sheer scale of the project means a wide selection of unit types and orientations.
