Housing
House/apartment rental prices range from $150 for a small
flat to $5000/month or more for a luxury villa, but most find a
place for between $200 and $800/month, plus utilities. Prices,
of course, depend to a degree on location, but on average:
flats, usually consisting of one floor of a shophouse style
building (pteas l'veng) run $200-$500/month; shophouse buildings
for $500-$2000 and up); modern/serviced apartments for
$400-$2000 and up; villas for $700-$3000 and up.
Housing in the Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) area and the riverfront
area are popular with foreign residents, but tend to be more
expensive than other parts of town. Prices, on average, tend to
get lower the father away from the city center. Bear in mind
that some parts of the city are more prone to rainy season
flooding and an unreliable electricity supply. Most rental
contracts require a security deposit of at least one-three
months, to be applied against the final month(s) of the
contract.
To find a place of your own, spread the word, tell your
Cambodian friends and they will bring you lots of options. If
you have the time, just drive around desirable neighborhoods
looking for 'For Rent' signs. Realty companies list rentals and
can be quite helpful in meeting your exact requirements and
interacting with the landlord, but these rentals tend to be
comparatively more expensive.
Those staying short term or on a tight budget may consider
arranging a monthly rate with a hotel. Several hotels in the
BKK1 area cater to NGO/IO workers on medium-term stay, offering
reasonably priced, serviced rooms.

Settling
In: Kitchenware, Furniture and Décor
Furniture
Boutique shops offer high quality and
custom made furniture. For something a bit more off-the-rack, there
are half-dozen furniture stores on the east side of Monivong between
Sihanouk and Mao Tse Toung selling quality imported home furniture.
For something more local, there is also a cluster of shops along
Monivong near Street 466 specializing in locally made wood
furniture. The least expensive option are the wicker and light wood
furniture that can be found at the little shops that line the curve
of Sothearos near the intersection of Norodom.

International Primary and Secondary Schools
(Back to top)
High quality international primary and
secondary education is available in Phnom Penh, though it is not
inexpensive and class space is limited at certain levels. With the
quickly growing number of expatriate families and general increased
standard of living, the demand for quality international education
is beginning to exceed supply. Many international schools have long
waiting lists. Make sure to get your children on the list early.
