Like many expats here, I started in Daun Penh near the riverside. Each move has been progressively farther away. i currently live near Russian Market and quite like the area, and housing prices are much lower here than in BKK I or II. There are also plenty of convenience stores and restaurants of all types. The area due north of here, between Monivong and St. 173 as far north as Sihanoukville is similar and only slightly more expensive, and includes BKK III. I have never seen a place in BKK I or II for $120, but have seen several for $180-$300. However, each one had at least one issue that was a deal-breaker for me, and I don't actually like the area very well.
