Housing

House/apartment rental prices range from $150 for a small flat to $5000/month or more for a luxury villa, but most find a place for between $200 and $800/month, plus utilities. Prices, of course, depend to a degree on location, but on average: flats, usually consisting of one floor of a shophouse style building (pteas l’veng) run $200-$500/month; shophouse buildings for $500-$2000 and up); modern/serviced apartments for $400-$2000 and up; villas for $700-$3000 and up.

Housing in the Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) area and the riverfront area are popular with foreign residents, but tend to be more expensive than other parts of town. Prices, on average, tend to get lower the father away from the city center. Bear in mind that some parts of the city are more prone to rainy season flooding and an unreliable electricity supply. Most rental contracts require a security deposit of at least one-three months, to be applied against the final month(s) of the contract.

To find a place of your own, spread the word, tell your Cambodian friends and they will bring you lots of options. If you have the time, just drive around desirable neighborhoods looking for ‘For Rent’ signs. Realty companies list rentals and can be quite helpful in meeting your exact requirements and interacting with the landlord, but these rentals tend to be comparatively more expensive.

Those staying short term or on a tight budget may consider arranging a monthly rate with a hotel. Several hotels in the BKK1 area cater to NGO/IO workers on medium-term stay, offering reasonably priced, serviced rooms.

Settling In: Kitchenware, Furniture and Décor

Furniture
Boutique shops offer high quality and custom made furniture. For something a bit more off-the-rack, there are half-dozen furniture stores on the east side of Monivong between Sihanouk and Mao Tse Toung selling quality imported home furniture. For something more local, there is also a cluster of shops along Monivong near Street 466 specializing in locally made wood furniture. The least expensive option are the wicker and light wood furniture that can be found at the little shops that line the curve of Sothearos near the intersection of Norodom.
