Why this project is worth a look
Completed setting
The estate is completed and occupied, allowing buyers to judge the real façades, streets, landscaping and common areas. This reduces construction-stage uncertainty, although the condition of the selected home still requires a detailed inspection.
Several home formats
The same community includes compact link villas, shop houses and larger villa types. The confirmed schedule spans 120 to 216 sqm of gross floor area, giving buyers residential and mixed-use options without changing neighbourhoods.
Shared amenities
Sources repeatedly mention a pool, gym, landscaped park or garden, playground, badminton court, mini-mart, parking and security. The physical amenities can be checked on site; access rules, charges and current maintenance standards should be confirmed for the chosen home.
Sen Sok lifestyle
Khmuonh sits in the expanding Sen Sok area, a location better suited to family and car-based living than a dense central district. Project sources associate the estate with AEON Mall 2 and Makro, while actual journey times remain dependent on route and traffic.
About the project
Arata Garden Residences is a completed low-rise borey community in Sangkat Khmuonh, Sen Sok. Unlike a high-rise condominium, the product consists of landed homes with individual entrances and plots: link villas, shop houses, twin villas and larger villa formats. Knight Frank records 712 homes, a Q1 2017 launch and Q4 2019 completion, while FazWaz dates completion to January 2020. In practical terms, this is an established neighbourhood where buyers can inspect existing streets, façades, shared facilities and resale homes rather than relying only on construction promises or artist impressions.
Creed’s official project page describes the development as landed housing aimed at the local middle and upper-middle income market, with Creed involved in construction management and sales under Japanese supervision. FazWaz also connects the scheme with Triple Gem and Hoosiers Holdings, while the architectural concept is attributed to Japanese architect Hisaya Sugiyama of Quincy Studio. The useful due-diligence question is not the nationality used in marketing but the current division of responsibility: a buyer should establish who owns and sells the selected home, who maintains the common areas and which entity is contractually responsible for ongoing services.

The project is organised as a neighbourhood rather than a single building. Published descriptions refer to a landscaped park of about one hectare along a wide road, with walking routes, shaded areas and spaces intended for informal community use. Photographs of the completed estate show a formal entrance, long rows of three-storey homes, planted internal streets, a swimming pool and a gym. This layout offers direct street access and more privacy than a tower, but the living experience also depends on estate management, security, road maintenance, drainage, landscaping and the rules applied to common facilities.
The house mix covers several use cases. Knight Frank lists Link Villa A at 120 sqm gross floor area and Link Villa B at 180 sqm. Shop House A and Shop House B are shown at 189 and 216 sqm, while the Twin Villa is also listed at 216 sqm with a larger plot. Other project materials use the names Queen Villa and King Villa, but no current official catalogue was found that reliably maps those names to the Knight Frank schedule. Buyers should therefore compare the actual land dimensions, building footprint, floor area, frontage, orientation and floor plan of each home instead of relying on a type name alone.
The resale market inside the completed development is not uniform. During the July 18, 2026 check, Link House listings were found at $120,000 and $140,000, while FazWaz displayed a four-bedroom home at $168,000. The gap may reflect size, location within the estate, condition, furnishing, plot dimensions, title position and seller urgency. The lowest figure is useful as a market entry point, but it is not a universal project price. A sensible comparison should include several live homes, physical inspections, repair allowances, estate fees and any outstanding charges attached to the seller.
For a foreign purchaser, this is legally different from buying a strata-title apartment in a co-owned building. A borey home is tied to land, so the ownership structure must be reviewed for the buyer’s exact circumstances under Cambodian law. A listing that mentions Hard Title or LMAP for one resale home does not prove the documentation of every house and does not by itself resolve how a foreign buyer may participate. Before any reservation payment, an independent Cambodian lawyer should verify the title, plot boundaries, seller authority, encumbrances, restrictions and the proposed transaction structure.
A completed three-storey home still requires more than a visual viewing. The inspection should cover roof and terrace leaks, water pressure on the upper floor, air-conditioning, wiring, bathroom ventilation, cracking, windows and doors. Buyers should also establish whether the ground floor has been altered for business use, where the plot boundary runs and who approves canopies, façade changes and parking arrangements. Resale homes may include furniture and visible wear, so the purchase price should be compared together with repair and adaptation costs. Recent service and utility receipts, any arrears and direct feedback from neighbours can clarify how security, water supply, noise and common facilities work in daily life.

Landed property — what this means for a foreign buyer
This is landed housing, not a unit in a co-owned building. Cambodian law does not allow a foreign individual to hold land. Foreign ownership works for an apartment above the ground floor inside a co-owned building, within the foreign quota — that is a different product from this one.
That does not automatically mean the project is closed to you: structures exist, and each carries its own legal and tax trade-offs. Which one applies — if any — is a question for a qualified Cambodian lawyer on your specific deal, not something we settle on a web page. Ask us and we will lay out the options and the risks honestly.
Home types & sizes
Knight Frank lists a 40 sqm building footprint and a 72.5 sqm plot. This is the most compact confirmed format; the current layout and the exact dimensions of a selected home must be checked against the seller’s documents.
Knight Frank records a 60 sqm building footprint and a 97.5 sqm plot. It is larger than Link Villa A, while bedroom count, bathrooms and fit-out condition must be verified for the specific resale home.
The shop-house label suggests a frontage that may support business use, but permitted use should not be assumed from the name alone. Knight Frank lists a 63 sqm footprint and does not provide a land size in the schedule.
The confirmed schedule gives a 72 sqm footprint and a 112.5 sqm plot. This is one of the larger shop-house formats; a buyer should verify business restrictions, parking arrangements and visibility from the internal street.
Knight Frank lists a 160 sqm plot and a 72 sqm building footprint. The twin villa provides more land than the confirmed link-villa and shop-house formats, while the shared wall and plot boundaries must be checked for the selected property.
FazWaz names these formats alongside Link Villas and Shop Houses. Reliable current areas and a clear mapping to the other type schedule were not found, so specifications should be requested for the available home.
Type names and groupings differ between sources: Knight Frank lists Link Villa A/B, Shop House A/B and Twin Villa, while FazWaz also names Queen Villa and King Villa. The cards preserve confirmed specifications without forcing the two classifications into an invented mapping. Prices are the lowest the brokerage boards publish, not the developer’s price list — the price and availability of a specific unit are something we go through with you personally.

Location
- The confirmed address is Phum Banla S'et, Sangkat Khmuonh, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh. No project-wide house number or street name was confirmed, so the address stops at the village and administrative levels rather than adding an invented detail.
- The estate is designed for low-rise living with internal roads and private entrances. This is generally better suited to a household with a car than to a buyer who expects a dense central neighbourhood where most daily trips can be made on foot.
- Project descriptions repeatedly use AEON Mall 2 and Makro as the main Sen Sok retail references. They clarify the broader micro-market, but travel time and the best route should be checked for the relevant hour and the selected estate exit.
- Sen Sok’s outer urban fabric continues to evolve. A site visit should review access roads, drainage after rain, noise, adjacent construction and the practical availability of services from the exact row of homes under consideration.
- Rows within Arata should be compared individually rather than only by house type. Corner position, proximity to the entrance, pool or commercial frontage, window orientation and internal traffic can materially change privacy and noise. Homes with the same nominal area may also differ in yard space, canopy, parking and the condition of adjacent façades. The project address therefore defines only the broad location; the final assessment must be tied to the exact house and its position inside the estate.
Price & purchase terms
- Current price: From $120,000 in an open Link House resale listing on Malay Nop, checked on July 18, 2026. This is a lower market anchor for one completed home rather than a project-wide price list; current availability, property condition, price and transaction terms require a separate confirmation.
- Stated completion target: Q4 2019 · current status to confirm
We show the lowest of the prices the brokerage boards publish: their figures for the same unit differ by a few per cent, and none of them is the developer’s price list. We ask the developer for the current price, availability and payment terms on the unit you are looking at, and go through them with you personally.

Best for: Families seeking a completed multi-storey home with a private entrance and access to shared facilities inside a managed residential community.; Buyers comfortable comparing resale homes and commissioning a technical inspection, title review and direct negotiation with an individual seller.; Entrepreneurs considering a shop house for combined living and work, subject to confirmation of permitted use, signage, parking and estate rules.; Purchasers who are comfortable with Sen Sok and a car-based lifestyle rather than requiring walkable access to the central business districts.; Buyers who value seeing an operating neighbourhood, speaking with residents and comparing several completed homes before deciding rather than accepting early-stage construction risk.; may not suit: This may not suit a purchaser looking for the comparatively simple structure of an apartment in a co-owned high-rise: the home is tied to land and requires a separate legal solution.; Buyers unwilling to inspect, repair and verify the documents of an individual resale house may prefer a project with a current unified price list and standardised new units..

- Verify plot title and boundaries, actual house completion, each partner’s legal role, service charges and common-area rules.
Disputed and unknown information
This keeps the open points in one place. A missing or disputed fact is not treated as a conclusion.
- The home count conflicts: Knight Frank and FazWaz state 712, while the current NovAsia page refers to 737. No current official schedule of phases and handed-over homes was found.
- The reported site area conflicts: MapleTree states 7 hectares and Construction & Property reports 12 hectares. It is unclear whether the figures describe different phases or project boundaries.
- Completion differs by one quarter: Knight Frank and one current listing state Q4 2019, while FazWaz gives January 2020. No document confirming completion of every phase was found.
