Queries related to building and decorating and whatever else the married dudes are up to, as well as all the repetitive questions about "Where can I find a nice air conditioned apartment in a good location for $75 a month?"

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.

I'd like to live in that large house near Independence Monument, but also have a countryside retreat.

French abbreviation used here to designate floors - E3= Estage 3 or third floor not counting ground which is E0

I got a 3rd floor, pretty new, 1 bedroom apartment on the corner of 178 and norodom (behind gym bar) for $270 including water and cable. Power only 720r/kw too. Last bill was $22.

Not much noise, good view of norodom, sorya and Pasteur area and decently furnished.
