Discover a spacious apartment for rent in the heart of Wat Phnom, Central Phnom Penh — a beautifully renovated villa apartment occupying the entire 2nd floor of a charming three-story villa. This inviting home combines old-world character with modern comfort: polished floorboards, tasteful furnishings, and a genuinely huge private terrace that sets it apart from typical homes in Phnom Penh.
Spanning 250 sqm, this apartment offers two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus a separate living room and dining room — the dining room is versatile enough to double as a third bedroom if needed. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, bedside tables, and a private office table, complemented by an en-suite shower bathroom and a walk-through dressing area. The second bedroom comfortably sleeps more guests with a king bed and two singles, generous storage cabinets, and its own separate bathroom.
Both the living and dining areas flow directly onto the apartment’s standout feature: a vast, covered private terrace overlooking greenery, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The fully equipped kitchen makes day-to-day living easy, while 24-hour security and secure, off-street parking add peace of mind — a rare combination for a living space this central.
Fully renovated in 2019, every detail here has been considered, from the rich wood tones to the clean, contemporary bathrooms. Living in Wat Phnom puts you within easy reach of the Royal Palace, riverside restaurants, cafes, and the city’s best cultural landmarks — genuinely central living without sacrificing space or privacy.

Daun Penh & Riverside: Where Phnom Penh’s art scene meets its next property boom
Street 172 still wears its old skin: $3 massage parlours and bars filled with weathered faces under greying hair, a holdover from a Phnom Penh that’s slowly fading.
But round the corner, Street 178 is quietly becoming the city’s most promising art gallery district — with the Royal University of Fine Arts and the National Museum of Cambodia both within walking distance, the creative pedigree is already built in.
Friends Café has planted its flag here, and the historic Mansion House sits waiting for its next chapter. With the Hyatt now welcoming Phnom Penh’s jet-set crowd, this pocket of Daun Penh may be on the verge of a full designer-district transformation.
Even the shophouses along 172 tell the story — noticeably better preserved than in most of the city, a quiet signal that this could be Daun Penh and Riverside’s next rising star.
The surrounding streets still lean heavily on hostess bars, each competing for a shrinking share of tourist and expat spend. As land values climb and rents follow, every vendor on this strip will feel the pressure to justify their square metre.
Then there’s Phsar Kandal — and the open block once occupied by Prey Sar prison — which raises the obvious question: what comes next? The land immediately west of the pagoda is shaping up to be a developer’s dream.
With both sites sitting so close to the Riverside strip and the well-known 136 and 178 “sweet spots,” there’s a real possibility something special is brewing here — a district waiting for Phnom Penh’s next wave of architects and artists to claim it.
