Arakawa Residence

Public availability at the review date was dominated by owner resales and agency listings. Current profiles showed studios and two-bedroom units; one aggregated project page displayed 25 property cards, while PropertyHub showed eight sale listings and six rentals. Those figures should not be treated as verified stock. The same apartment can appear through several agents, a sold unit can remain online, and different advertisements may involve different ownership documents or payment arrangements. The lowest credible asking reference found was $28,000 for a studio of roughly 22.7–24.21 sqm. Two-bedroom advertisements started around $47,900 for approximately 47.5 sqm. Every price needs to be tied to a specific building, floor, physical condition, furnishing package, management-fee position and transfer structure. There is no reliable, current developer inventory sheet that applies across the complex.

The unit formats visible in active listings are straightforward and compact. Studios generally combine a sleeping area, one bathroom, a short kitchen line and a balcony; the reviewed examples measured 22.7 sqm and 24.21 sqm. Two-bedroom units commonly fall around 46–50 sqm and usually still have one bathroom. Secondary platforms sometimes use studio and one bedroom for very similar layouts, so the label in an advertisement is not enough. Before reservation, ask for the exact unit plan, measurements, furnishing inventory and the area stated in the title document. An inspection should also cover cross-ventilation, daylight, corridor noise, plumbing, kitchen condition and any water staining. In a large occupied complex, two apartments with the same nominal size can differ substantially in upkeep, outlook, noise exposure and the amount of work required after purchase.

At ground level, the developer has organised retail and daily services under the Arakawa Town Square name. Official materials refer to a fitness centre, coffee shop, food court, modern supermarket and other stores. The project gallery shows landscaped common space, an indoor children’s play area, controlled entry, motorcycle parking and multi-level car parking. Secondary project profiles additionally list a swimming pool, sauna, 24-hour security and CCTV. A buyer should verify which facilities are currently operating, the hours, access rules and any separate fees, because tenants and operating arrangements can change in a large mixed residential-and-retail environment. Even with that caveat, the completed commercial layer is useful: it allows residents to handle part of their everyday shopping, food and basic service needs within the project rather than relying on a future phase.

The usable address is HV6J+755, Phsar Tuek Thla Village, Sangkat Tuek Thla, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh. The site lies in western Phnom Penh around the Russian Federation Boulevard corridor and the airport-facing side of the city, not in the walkable central-core environment of BKK1 or Tonle Bassac. The location should be tested against real daily journeys: peak-hour access to work or university, the route to a preferred school or hospital, and the ease of entering and leaving the complex. The scale of Arakawa Residence means many neighbours, active entrances and meaningful pressure on lifts, parking and shared areas at busy times. Prospective owners should visit in both daytime and evening conditions, observe traffic and lighting, ride the lifts, and inspect the exact block rather than judging the project from a map or an aerial photograph alone.

Ownership status must not be accepted from a listing headline. The realestate.com.kh project profile and several recent unit advertisements use Hard Title or Strata Title, HomeAbroad also states strata title, and REINZ describes the contract type as freehold. Together, those references support the possibility of individually transferable condominium ownership, but none replaces the documents for the selected apartment. Before paying, obtain the original title or an authenticated copy, match the owner’s name, unit number and area, and check for mortgages, restrictions, disputes and unpaid management charges. The transfer process and all related costs should be documented in writing. Arakawa Management has operated from the complex since 2022, so any clearance letter, account statement and current house rules should be requested for the identified unit rather than assumed from another owner’s transaction.
