How much does an apartment in Chamkarmon cost?

One-bedroom apartments in new Chamkarmon complexes start at roughly $40,000. It's one of the most affordable entries into the Phnom Penh market with direct foreign ownership and a developer installment plan.

What is the rent in Chamkarmon?

Approximately: one-bedrooms rent from $350 a month, two-bedrooms $600–900 a month, which gives around 6–10% per year on the entry price. This is a market benchmark, not a guarantee — real yield is calculated per specific unit.

How is Chamkarmon different from BKK1?

BKK1 is part of the administrative district of Chamkarmon. BKK1 itself is the premium core with the most expensive rent, while the wider Chamkarmon includes the more affordable neighbourhoods around it, where the location is already 'near the centre' but prices are still reasonable — an entry point with a smaller budget.

New development in the Chamkarmon district, Phnom Penh

Chamkarmon is the administrative district that includes BKK1 itself and the more affordable neighbourhoods around it. A significant share of new residential construction is concentrated here: the location is already "near the centre" while prices are still reasonable. For an investor with a budget of $20–100k it's one of the best entry points into the Phnom Penh market — with direct ownership and real rental income.

Why Chamkarmon appeals to investors

Low entry — one-bedroom apartments in new complexes from ~$40,000.
Close to the centre — the district borders BKK1; the business and diplomatic quarters are a short hop away.
Rental income — steady demand for housing, a benchmark of 6–10% per year in dollars.
Growth potential — the district is being actively built up, which supports value over the horizon.
