- Phnom Penh neighbourhoods cannot be compared by average price per square metre alone. BKK1, Chamkarmon, Daun Penh, Toul Kork and Chroy Changvar serve different tenant groups and create very different daily routines.
- The same investment idea can work on one micro-location and fail a few streets away. Check the exact street, access, surrounding development, competing buildings and future construction.
- Define the use case before buying: personal living, long-term rental or eventual resale. Then compare total entry price, real demand and the legal status of the specific property.
