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.
Nearby Toul Kork
Toul Kork — known locally as “TK” — sits in the north and northwest of Phnom Penh, separated from the CBD by Russian Boulevard. The name comes from the Khmer for “ground hill” (in some transliterations, Tuol Kouk, meaning “dry hill”), and the district runs from the area around Boeung Kak Lake out to the developed pockets further west. Its northern reaches have grown steadily more affluent, with housing now priced comparably to what you’d find in town.
Being outside the city center gives Toul Kork a genuinely different rhythm — it’s the natural choice for anyone after a quieter pace of life. Wide roads and a spacious layout give it a suburban feel, though the district has taken on a far more commercial character in recent years, joining Tonle Bassac, Daun Penh, and BKK1 among Phnom Penh’s established housing options.
Despite a wave of new high-rises, villas and gated communities still define much of the district, and wealthy Cambodian families continue to favor TK as a place to settle. Rising affluence has brought a wider retail scene too, with TK Avenue and Phnom Penh City Centre Mall among the standout additions, alongside the large-scale Boeung Kak and Camko City developments — part of a broader shift The Phnom Penh Post has tracked closely as the district’s apartment supply expands. Southern TK, by contrast, remains mostly low-rise and locally owned.
