Borey Peng Huoth — The Star Diamond

Today, The Star Diamond is best approached as an established residential area with completed homes and an active resale and rental market, not as a fresh launch governed by one current developer price sheet. The official page includes photographs of built villas, IPS documents a rented finished house, and a 2023 report on a Lucky Express branch shows that day-to-day retail was operating inside the development. Public sources do not provide a single verified date on which every part of the wider site was handed over. The completed classification reflects visible finished stock, occupation and live market activity; it does not remove the need to confirm the condition and status of the particular house.

The unusually broad official housing range is one of the project’s most useful features. Borey Peng Huoth lists nine standard types: two link houses, two shophouses, three detached villa designs and two twin-villa formats. The published layouts run to three or four storeys, with three to seven bedrooms and four to eight bathrooms. That makes it possible to search by real household needs rather than by the vague label “villa”: a more compact family home, a commercial-frontage format, a semi-detached house with two parking spaces, or a large private villa with a family area, two kitchens and staff rooms.

That variety also makes careless comparisons risky. The developer labels each dimension simply as “Size” and does not state whether it is the plot, building footprint, gross floor area or another design measurement. Resale properties may have gained awnings, extensions, enclosing walls, replacement interiors or altered room arrangements. Two houses carrying the same model name can therefore differ in physical condition and in the documents supporting what has been built. A serious comparison should reconcile the developer plan, an on-site measurement, the registered boundaries, the title, approved changes and the precise list of furniture and fixtures included by the seller.

The core shared amenities are clearly documented: a garden, children’s playground, clubhouse and swimming pool. The developer also identifies PH Diamond Mall, the International School of Phnom Penh, a public school, a market and government departments as parts of the project setting. A separate report records a Lucky Express store within The Star Diamond, while the ACLEDA locator confirms banking infrastructure at the project address. These are more meaningful than promises of future convenience because some daily services are already operating. Access rules, community charges, maintenance standards, pool and clubhouse condition, visitor parking and the actual route from a selected house still need to be checked in person.

The 60M Road position works for households whose daily pattern is tied to ISPP, southern Phnom Penh and the large retail destinations developing along this corridor. It is not a compact inner-city neighbourhood built around walking. Most residents will depend on a private car, driver or ride-hailing, and the journey changes with the entrance used, the house’s position inside the borey and traffic conditions. A property close to an active frontage may experience more road and commercial noise. A property deeper inside may feel calmer but involve a longer drive to the gate. Drainage, internal road quality, lighting and practical guest parking deserve their own inspection.

The public market evidence is largely resale evidence. The lowest current asking point found was $250,000 for a shophouse advertised on Realestate.com.kh and checked on August 4, 2026, while other houses—and particularly the larger detached villas—are offered at much higher levels. It would be misleading to turn that spread into one average project price. Model, plot dimensions, corner position, orientation, renovation, furniture, commercial usability, distance from the entrance, document quality and seller urgency can all change the number. Comparable offers should first be aligned on the same set of attributes, with transfer costs and any community arrears reviewed separately.

Buying here means selecting one existing house rather than accepting a standardised unit from a brochure. That has a practical advantage: the façade, rooms, neighbours, parking, noise, building systems and common facilities can be examined before money changes hands. Completion does not eliminate legal or technical due diligence. The seller should match the title and have authority to transact; boundaries, encumbrances, unpaid community charges, alterations and utility condition need property-specific checks. A foreign buyer should obtain independent Cambodian legal advice on a lawful structure for the house and land rather than treating a borey purchase as equivalent to acquiring a strata-title condominium unit.

In practical terms, The Star Diamond suits a buyer who wants a substantial family home in a functioning borey and is prepared to assess it as an individual resale property. The community offers a genuine choice between narrower link-house formats, commercial-frontage shophouses, semi-detached homes and large villas, and it can be judged by everyday conditions rather than by renders alone. It is less suitable for someone seeking a simple, uniform product with one plan, one price and one developer payment schedule. The outcome will depend as much on the selected plot, documents, condition and position within the community as on the project name itself.
