Discover a truly unique apartment for sale in Daun Penh, in one of the oldest, most characterful quarters of Central Phnom Penh. Its understated street frontage gives little away, but step through the shared courtyard and a carefully designed home unfolds.
This is a striking marriage of past and present. Colourful cement tiles, exposed brick and a sculpted iron balustrade sit alongside a sleek new kitchen with bold red accents. Soaring double-height ceilings keep the open-plan living and dining area bright and airy, while an indoor water garden with a cosy daybed creates a calm retreat from the city.
Both bedrooms are generous and full of character, one with a playful circular-mirror feature wall, and the bathrooms are finished in natural stone. Upstairs, a private roof terrace shaded by bamboo offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or sundowners. With its striking design and walkable Central Phnom Penh location, it’s perfect for Airbnb or an owner-occupier.

Apartments and homes for rent in Daun Penh, Phnom Penh
Looking for an apartment for rent in this charming district? 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.
The area
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 has brought a new, upmarket edge. Many see it as the next of Phnom Penh’s neighbourhoods to be transformed into a design-led district.
Who it suits
This area suits people who want 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. For more on the waterfront, see our Riverside guide.
Property types and rents
Most homes here are apartments, including renovated flats in classic shophouses and units in newer buildings. As a general guide, studios rent for around US$350–900 a month, one-bedroom apartments for US$400–1,500/month, two-bedroom apartments for US$800–2,500/month and three-bedroom homes for US$1,200–3,000/month, depending on building, condition and location.
