A landmark at Anchorvale.

Anchorvale is a neighbourhood of Sengkang New Town in Singapore between Sungei Punggol and Compassvale. House numbers of its public apartment blocks begin with the number '3' (3xx). These housing estates were fully completed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in 2001.

Anchorvale Village, a mixed-use retail and hawker centre, was opened on 18 May 2024, linked to several newly-built housing blocks. Outram Secondary School will be relocated to Anchorvale Crescent in 2026, as announced by the Ministry of Education (MOE), on 16 January 2024.[1]

Public transport

[edit]

The Anchorvale neighbourhood is linked to Sengkang Bus Interchange, Sengkang MRT/LRT station and Compassvale Bus Interchange at the town centre via bus services originating from the Sengkang Bus Interchange, Compassvale Bus Interchange and other parts of the island. The west loop of the Sengkang LRT line also serves the area, at the Cheng Lim, Farmway, Tongkang and Renjong LRT stations.

Service 110, which plies between Compassvale Bus Interchange and Changi Airport, connects residents to the four airport terminals and the bus stops along TPE before and after Punggol Road near Punggol Flyover. It also serves as an alternate service toward the airport for residents of the town centre, and Fernvale residents close to Anchorvale.

The neighborhood's eastern portion is in the vicinity of the Sengkang Town Centre. Many residents there also have direct access to Sengkang MRT/LRT station.
