Houses or “landed property“ as they are commonly referred to in Cambodia come in a variety of categories with names you may not be used to in your home country, below are some of the most common ones.
Shop Houses for sale in Phnom Penh
Shop houses are quite often found in prime city centre and residential locations. The ground floor however is either available for rent as a shop front for retail business purposes or services. Traditionally the ground floor shop would be a family run business such as hair salon or pharmacy with the family residing in the above rooms, but it is now common for each floor of the shop house to be rented and owned separately. Many people rent an apartment one or more floors above a shop with a separate entrance.
