This detailed and practical article is presented by realestate.com.kh to help buyers, expats and international investors understand Cambodia’s diverse residential and mixed-use real estate landscape, offering clarity on structure, ownership, lifestyle fit and legal considerations.
Summary
Apartments are typically rental-only assets owned by a single landlord or company, with growing demand in BKK1 due to serviced-apartment amenities.
Condominiums remain highly attractive to foreign buyers because up to 70% of upper-floor units can be legally owned by non-Cambodians.
Flat houses appeal to middle-income families seeking multi-storey living spaces within planned communities and gated developments.
Shophouses continue to offer strong returns by combining commercial frontage and residential floors, especially in high-traffic locations.
Villas are considered premium properties, ranging from twin villas to king villas, offering larger plots, privacy and luxury features.
Borey developments integrate mixed-property formats with internal roads and community infrastructure, creating highly appealing suburban lifestyle options.
Legal structures for foreign ownership vary significantly, making independent legal advice essential before purchasing land-based property.
