Apartments and homes for rent in this area
This is Phnom Penh’s historic heart, a compact, walkable district where heritage buildings, galleries, markets and riverside cafés sit side by side, and where the city’s creative revival is easy to see.
Daun Penh has some of the best-preserved shophouses in the city, particularly along Street 172, giving many streets a character that newer districts can’t match. Around the corner, Street 178 is growing into a lively gallery quarter, with the Royal University of Fine Arts and the National Museum of Cambodia both within easy walking distance.
The district is also changing fast. Friends has long been a local favourite, the historic Mansion House is awaiting its next chapter, and the arrival of the Hyatt brought a new, upmarket edge. Many see it as the next of Phnom Penh’s neighbourhoods to be transformed into a design-led district, suiting those wanting to live in the centre of things: young professionals, creatives, and anyone who enjoys walking to restaurants, galleries and the river rather than driving across town.
Everyday living
Daily life here is convenient. Phsar Kandal market supplies fresh produce, the riverside promenade is minutes away, and cafés, restaurants and bars are on almost every block.
