More stupid questions - areas of Phnom Penh
Re: More stupid questions - areas of Phnom Penh
Most highrise / modern condos are located West of street 51. On the eastern side you will find more typical Phnom Penh 3-4 storey older style apartments accessed through back alleys.Kenr wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 3:46 am Can anyone give any particular condo/apt names for the Daun Penh area for LTR between 110-136, probably east of 51st street, closer to the river the better? Near good food and good drinks. I’ve been searching online on some real estate sites, but trying to narrow it down to specific locations/areas on the sites has been quite the task.

Go to Sisowath Quay. There is a condo block above Orphic with a new roof garden bar (so noise might be an issue) and I hear there is another block that has just been completed above or very near the new ABA branch, a 8 storey building. These are all between 154 and 144.Kenr wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 3:46 am Can anyone give any particular condo/apt names for the Daun Penh area for LTR between 110-136, probably east of 51st street, closer to the river the better?

There aren't many condo blocks in Riverside and what is available is expensive for what you get. On the whole the housing stock here is terrible compared to western standards and frequently expensive for inexplicable reasons. Khmer landlords get an idea in their heads of what it should rent for and there is no coming down from that. If you find a nice place with a silly rental demand, just move on.
You might want to get yourself a good agent, the do exist. I know this guy, he has been around for years and knows the market. I have never used him personally (still in my first place) but if I did need an agent I wouldn't hesitate to use him.

Bkk3. Close to BKK market, close to everywhere. Plenty of condos, where you get a 1BR apartment with gym and pool for 500$.

I live near Toul Sleng and it's a short drive/ bike ride to BKK1's supermarkets and swimming pools. 15 minutes to riverside.
The 2nd floor unit of my building is currently empty but there's a construction site across the street, which is intermittently noisy. I can post some photos if you're interested.

Re: More stupid questions - areas of Phnom Penh
Pricey for Cambodia, then on the other hand for a capital city it's not pricey at all comparing other world capitals. There are 14 districts (Karns) different areas of the city with a wide range of accommodation for rental, with also a variation of price range and rental agreements, electricity and water price will usually be that of the state price, but can also be variable depending on what the landlords want to charge.
I would think it therefore suit's people from overseas, and that of their different needs and lifestyle.
Area, that suits your needs, such has restaurants and bars, parks, open spaces, in general something to entertain or keep oneself occupied.
Rentals available from that of a Room type accommodation (that will be a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, possibly also an outside area). To an extravagant multi bed/bathroom Villa on one of the many cities Borey's. Price ranges from the room accommodation $40+ to Villas in the price range of $1,000s per month. Also do you go for furnished or unfurnished properties, or even the 12-month contract, or stick with the pay one month's advance.
There's a lot of properties to choose from, depending on your personal budget.

Re: More stupid questions - areas of Phnom Penh
The Daun Penh/ Prampi Makara districts are central and convenient, however the entrances to apartments can be less than desirable. Often the entrance will be down a dark alley, sometimes with slummy hovels along them, then dark stairwells. I prefer having a gate on the street. There are quite streets around the city, 350 in BKK2 for example. Some streets are thoroughfares and can have traffic at any time but there are many less used streets that are relatively quiet. Of course as others have said this can change any day and there's a whole lot of construction going on.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I've found living in a place where the owner and their family live in the same building to have distinct benefits, especially over the last year with getting vaccine registration etc.
