- Let’s go apartment hunting in Siem Reap, Cambodia! These apartments are all within the $275 - $350 range and they all have pools. We viewed them in mid-December 2022, and it is very likely each of the apartment buildings featured will have availability into 2023. Thoughts on each of the three:
Apartment 1 in Wat Bo: Positives: very nice finish, size and location were good, lift was a plus, pool was amazingly clean, cafe downstairs is lovely and has air con, there is good security with a 24 hour guard and secure parking under the building. Negatives: balcony off the bedroom and not the living area, the location is central, but not overly close to places we like to go for dinner, road could be busy.
Apartment 2 near Navutu Dreams: Positives: Pool is huge, building has a lift, finish seems to be quite high standard, rural setting if that’s your thing. Negatives: not many people living there yet - has a slightly abandoned feel, is a bit further from the town centre than we wanted to be, rooms are very big, and that means big electricity bills if you run the air con.
Apartment 3 in Slor Kram: Positives: Price is very good for two bedrooms, ability to rent month to month gives flexibility, location is near the river and seems quiet. Negatives: No lift, crocodiles, older style, long term lease not possible.

Which one do you think is the best?
Apartment 1 the one facing the main street. That's the nicest one shouldn't be too noisy when you're few floors up?
Also other than renting would you consider monthly mortgage to buy/ own one?
The crocodiles blew my mind! I cannot believe there are so many so close to all the residences. Could you imagine living on the ground floor next to all of them?
I have since heard that they can be quite smelly. It would be quite unpleasant in the hot season, I think.
That was fun! I liked apartment 2. Can't wait to see the one you've picked. Thx 4 sharing with us! :)
Glad you thought it was fun - it was a fun video to make. We ended up with one that is not like these three at all! 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
Interesting video & amazing prices! I think that the Crocodile Towers is the one for me.
Thanks Andrew! I think you could become a crocodile behaviour expert by studying those specimens from the rooftop. 🐊
Apartment #2 for me, the country surrounding & beautiful pool.
The pool there is particularly lovely. No walking to any restaurants, though. 🏩🛵 🙏
Thanks for sharing your video what a beautiful day in siem reap take care bye from miserable day in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you! The views from some of the apartments were just stunning - gorgeous to be able to see the buildings in town. 🏩🛵 🙏
Thanks for sharing this information. its been very helpful. looking forward to the apartment you have chose. I loved thr reaction when seeing the crocodiles!
🤣🤣 I could not believe the size of those crocodiles or the number of them in such a small space! It must be a mission keeping that many fed. The apartment we chose is a little different to the ones in this video, but we like it better. 🏩🛵 🙏
NIce video. At that price point I am surprised you didn't check out my old place. You drove right past it!
Yeah, we always give a nod to you when we go past your old building. Not sure why we didn't look there, but yours was a nice place!
@For Riel Yes it was. I miss it.😕
Some good variety and info on renting in Siem reap 👌 would luv to see more & look forward on seeing the one you’ve chosen - well put together as usual - Many Thanks 🙏
Thanks so much! It's always good fun to look around and see what the apartments are like. Many of them I had seen online prior to visiting, and it was interesting to see if we liked them more or less after seeing in person. 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
I may do one every 2 months to show People what's around.
Hey guys! We stayed in apartment 3 and we didn’t like it at all! The street was so noisy and in raining season the road flooded with a mixture of water and sewage 😢 also the dogs bark non stop at night!
Oh no! I have never heard dogs howl like they do here in Cambodia. It's SO noisy. Glad we didn't end up in that apartment, but for us it was the water tanks on the roof that were a little.... off-putting. Hope you ended up in a place you are happy with. 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
Hi guys,
Just a quick question for you.
Does it get cold in SiemReap in Winter, should I bring over jumpers or is that a little over the top.
Cheers,
Joe.
@@user-ki1bj5rx4h hey there 😊 it depends where you’re from originally. If it gets really cold in your country then you won’t need anything warm here during winter. The winters here don’t drop below 25 degrees Celsius. I’d rather take waterproof clothing over warm/thick clothing because you are more likely to get wet then cold 🥶
Thanks for that, I live in Brisbane and it does get cold here in Winter time.
then the winter in Cambodia will still feel very hot for you. min temps are around 22-25'c@@user-ki1bj5rx4h
Hi guys. Love apartment hunting!! And....ok....I'm first. There should be like...a prize. 😄 Anything Cambodia makes our day so thank you!!
Haha you have a timezone advantage! We love looking at apartments - it's great fun to see the different things that are available. Thanks for watching!
Thank you ! Very helpful!!!
Awesome, Keith - glad you enjoyed it! 🏩🛵 🙏
It’s an easy pick, Apartment #3 is the best and the cheapest. I’ll take that one if I were you for Riel.
It was definitely a great deal, especially given that it has two bedrooms. We picked something else, though! 🏩🛵 🙏
You pick apartment #1 because it has everything in the areas right. Restaurant and coffee shop in the busy area too
Hey Guys welcome back, I can't see needing to pay any more than 150 for a decent place, also look into smart@home router which is virtually unlimited for 18 usd per month, no installation you put a sim in and plug it in, it has ethernet and wifi. They cap it at about 1.2megabytes per second but therte is lots of bandwidth there so while you are downloading something and it's maxed you can easily watch youtube without buffering and surf the net, yes it's capped but not limited. Samrt also gives you 2gb for your cell phone every month included with he deal. This thing works anywhere there is electric. I wish i would have known instead of using my cell phone as a hotspot which bloated the battery from excessive heat and i was limited at 80 gb max for 8 bucks a month. Best to you both. cheerios.
Yes, $150 a month will surely be enough for something decent. That Smart@home sounds like a great deal. At the moment I am hot spotting a lot and it's chewing through my data. I'm spending about $12 a month on the Cellcard plan because the $6 plan is only lasting two weeks instead of four. Thanks so much for watching! 🏩🛵 🙏
Hi Jeremy and Claire , hope all is going well , looking forward to seeing your new apartment , soon it will be 2023 , and I have a feeling tourism should improve greatly , hope my prediction comes true , take care , stay safe , catch you on the next one , Peace
Thank you Brian! We are very happy in the apartment we chose. It suits us very well. Tourist numbers continue to rise here, and I hope they can stay that way until Khmer New Year as that would provide a real boost for people. Thanks for watching! 🏩🛵 🙏
Thank you. Lots of great information. Invaluable for when I relocate to SR.
I have been getting familiar with the rental situation online for a couple of months now but viewing via the video has been of great assistance. Having been to SR twice this year has also helped with the search. IPS look like the people to deal with. I have contacted them via email previously. They always respond promptly with plenty of information.
Thanks again. Your videos are so helpful.
Lynn.
Thanks so much Lynn! I hope your preparations are going well - sounds like you are being very thorough. IPS are great (as are a lot of the other agents in town) and it's good to have someone to turn to if things go wrong. Thank you for supporting us! 🙏🙂
Sounds like a good deal for a long stay. Great apartment hunting for SR as always!
Lots of good bargains still to be had in Siem Reap! 😁
Gives light in the cupboards.
Does for sure. 😊
Sold on the Gold, what a nugget mate! Some top apartments there. Interesting to compare with Chiangmai, I'm paying A$300 p.m. out in the suburbs with a chihuahua and Thai cat 🐈
I get just as excited with plenty of power points...something we've always taken for granted haha
Yes! Power points are so important! And we get doubly excited about the ones that can take any kind of plug. Love Chiang Mai - we stayed there for a month back in 2014. It was a lot of fun, but I think a little more expensive than here. Good on you for looking after the kitty! 🏩🛵 🙏
Thanks for the tour. Those apts. were kinda meh, but did you have to turn this episode into a cliffhanger? Jeez..what a gip.
Reckon it'll be worth it. We ended up with a place nothing like these two. 😁😁😁
Dirt road access is a definate no-go. All mud during the rainy season from late May through November!
Yes, a dirt road is no fun in the rainy season, and if you live on one, you have to deal with it every time you leave and return.
@@ForRiel Exactly. 🫤
This type of information is very helpful, Thankyou.
Nice edit, man. Enjoyed watching. Looks like some pretty good deals.
Thank you! Yes, lots of good deals and availability right now.
We lived in this building (NUMBER 3) for 3 months in 2016. I was happy to see our croc farm again. We are arriving in SR Saturday.
That's fantastic! The croc pit is certainly a unique feature. We're in Laos but back in SR at the end of the month.
@@ForRiel Enjoy Laos.
G'day, Jeremy and Claire. Greetings from Mallacoota. Great videos. My wife and I have been looking at Siem Reap for a 6-month stay so your videos are just the ticket.
Wonderful! A six month stay would give you a very good feel for the place. I hope the weather has warmed up a bit for you! It has been so cold in Victoria!
Thanks for sharing guys. You really tempt me to consider moving to Siem Reap. Seasons greetings to you both.🎄🎄🎆🎆 And Congrats on getting to 10k subscribers. Cheers .🍻🍻
We think everyone should consider moving to Siem Reap! There is so much good about living here, and so many things to keep you busy. Thank you for your kind words. 🙏 🛵🙂🌴
are they breeding the crocs there for......dinner?
I think so, yes! 🤣🍔🍺
Awesome video! Very cool 👍
Thanks so much! 😁🇰🇭🙏🍺
They say you can live in Cambodia like a king for just a few hundred dollars a month. They're right. For just $275 you can get a two bedroom apartment with a pool, *and* a crocodile moat.
I bet that second building was intended to be a hotel but after Covid and the Chinese tourism drying up the developers decided to turn it into apartments instead.
Who'd have thought you could get crocodile view with your apartment? Yes, I think the big building was destined to be short stay apartments. I don't know how safe I would feel living out there. Imagine coming home at night by yourself? It wasn't for us, but we found a gem in the end. 🏩🛵 🙏
@@ForRiel I agree with not wanting to live in the backwoods. I'd pay the extra to live on a main road with at least a few other expats in the vicinity.
Man, those are good rents. The US$350 2-bedder is less than I pay for a so-so 1-bed in Bangkok. Some had quite nice features. However, I didn't like any of those units. And there's no way I'd live above a croc farm. 😮 I grew up in farm country. Thanks for the room tour. Looking forward to seeing the winner. Have a feeling it's going to be about US$450-500.
Yeah I wasn't too keen on any of them either. I would have taken the croc farm place for a month if we couldn't find anything else, but luckily we found one we really like. You pay more rent, but you get to live in Bangkok! Can't complain about that - I LOVE that city. Might take a poll and see how much people think we ended up paying before we put the video out... 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
Great to get an idea of what's out there for rent. Some apartments are too close to road noise (honking horns), and some apartments are a little to far away from shops and such.
I really like the area from a recent video, the one that Claire went for an early morning walk by the river. What apartment was that? Thank you!
You're on the money, Richard. I did that walk from the apartment that we chose in the end. Will be doing a tour as soon as I can get Jeremy to tidy up his stuff. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look out for mosquitos and air ventilation during the night. Balcony looks nice, only when it doesn't rain.. Jeremy is breathing heavy...he needs more cardio and less beer 🤣Nahh... Im jus kidding..cheers
I'm Hella Fat! Carrying up 130kgs is not fun.....
The balcony in the third apartment was nice, but a shame it was off the bedroom and not the lounge room!
Claire "Hold my beer watch this" next video "Jeremy , Crock Hunter!
Exactly! The next day, 'This chicken tastes weird.' 😁😂
Facebook marketplace has tons of listings.
Yeah, it does! Great place to look. 🏩🛵 🙏
thank you... informative video! I was wonder if you have heard about a strata title condo complex call rose apple square in siem reap?
Thanks so much! Yes, I have heard of that development. The owner of the third building has only just acquired it and it's called Rose Apple something, so perhaps the same owner/developer? 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
These price and rooms are a steal compared to so called first world city like New York, Toronto or San Francisco lmao.
They are. The value for money here is very good.
Hi. Nice video. Can you share with us, where (link) we can find apartments and homes by my self? Thanks!
Thanks! Try this link to the IPS website: ips-cambodia.com/locations/siem-reap-province/
Hi Claire and Jeremy. Thank you for the apartment tour.
Can I ask please…will you be doing an apartment tour in the $50 - $200 range?
Dave in Cambodia has been living in a $50 a month apartment recently, and my gated apartment on Concrete Drain Road off of Soksan was $100 a month when I was there. (They had a full time security guard at the building also)
Coming back in 2023, and I don’t really want to spend more than $150 a month, not counting electric and water. $100 a month again would be preferable.
I just can’t go as cheap as Dave. But I admire him for his ability to go that cheap at $50 a month.
Take care, be safe. Maybe see you guys when I come back. Your Cambodia videos are awesome. Favourites of mine. Thank you 🙏🏼 👍🏼 🌴 🛺 🛵
Yes, I think we will do a tour of some cheaper ones too. You can find a lot of apartments under $150. I even found one for $35 recently, and it included wifi! There are some gems out there, and it's all about prioritising what's important to you, I guess. The ones we stayed in near Psar Kraom are still being advertised for $160 so I am sure you could get those for less - perfectly livable. Thanks so much for watching our videos! 🏩🛵 🙏
I'm thinking of doing one every 2 months or so. The $50 to $100 range is usually non air-conditioned studios, so not what we were looking for this time. I would love to rent one and do smart tiny apartment style Reno on it.
You can pay for all three apts. and deposit for the one month rent in the US city…
So true! We are very lucky that it is so affordable here.
Good deal, does they need to pay two months for deposit first or just pay one month fee?
One month in advance and one month deposit is the standard. I have seen people asking for two month's deposit, but I wouldn't stay in a place that asked for double what is normal. 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
When I first moved to Siem Reap in 2016 I payed $700/month for a large "western" style apartment. Very large pool, nice built in's and furniture. The building was full with few vacancies so I wasn't alone. I have since bought a home so I'm not renting any longer. I think it would be a good idea to do a video on apartments over $500/month so people can see that there are nice apartments here and not just those for people on a budget.
Yes, there are some lovely places in Siem Reap. Unfortunately, I think if we made a video of them, it wouldn't get many views because most people are looking for budget options, or at least sub-$400.
@@ForRiel that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. On another note, why not a video on health care? Lots of older expats here. 👍🏻
Great idea! We have touched on it before, but not for a while.
A comfortable bed would be number 1 on my list together with insect screens I think. Here is Luang Prabang it is not too easy to find good rentals. Most are pretty dreadful and overpriced. And I detest my current bed! But then you can’t buy anything decent in Laos either!
Yes, sometimes the beds are really hard, really old, or both. I can imagine it is very difficult in Luang Prabang - it would be hard even in Vientiane, so LP, I can only imagine! We are quite spoilt here with the range of apartments available. 🏩🌴🛵

What’s the longest you’ve spent in one apartment
You always seem to me constantly on the move
Are you in a witness protection program

🤣🤣 we're in a house now, and been here over a year. Yeah we've always moved a lot even in Australia. I think we're nearly at 40 places since 2000.

All the best from Five Dock 👍🏼
As a Cambodian living in the USA, I would not rent any of these apartments. I know the rent is cheap, but we sacrifice our lifestyle. It is depressing to have such an environment: no trees, cramped buildings, no fresh air, and seeing confined crocodiles. Can you show us the $500 - $1200 rent with trees and garden?
Yes, of course! For that price, you could have a villa with a pool, and very nice garden as well. We prefer small spaces for a lot of reasons, but definitely could make a video showing the higher end! Thanks for watching. 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
My thoughts on the Genni does it actually work? For me on the generous Australian pension, 400 a month AUD would pull me up ,
Yeah, they are usually pretty good at maintaining generators here. The exchange rate is killing anyone whose funds are coming from Australia right now. How much in USD per month do you think you could spend on rent?
@@ForRiel is $300 US a month possible? Ie a western style apartment
Peter Mackay Qld
thanks for another really useful video , interesting that a third world country has so much choice compared to australia where getting anything is difficult and we accept people sleeping in their cars as fine
Thanks for watching, Simon. Yes it's crazy to compare the housing markets in Cambodia and Australia. Here, as long as you agree to the amount, they will rent to you. No bidding wars, and no reference checks.

Good afternoon. I have a question I should have asked on the livestream last night. When you arrived and went to ABA Bank, did you already have your long term visa or just the 30 day ordinary visa?
Hi David, the initial 30 day ordinary was fine for us, but they wanted to see our rental agreement. I guess they want evidence of long-term stay.
@@ForRiel That is what I was thinking, I moved into my apartment a couple days ago.
@@ForRiel Thank you
I live in Thailand and pay 300 a month for a studio. We have a pool but I have never used it. I would rather have lower rent and no pool.
Yes, we are the same. In the end, a pool isn't worth it to us.
We’re moving to siem reap for a minimum of a year. What’s your advice on scooters? Buy or rent? Selling? Etc.
I prefer to buy, but some people rent them long term. At some point it becomes better financially to own, and you'll always get most of the money back if you need to sell.
would they do a month to month rental, 3 to 6 months
They're usually willing to negotiate, but you might pay a slightly higher monthly rent.
You will feel like you are in Mackay with the crocs 😁
Yes! That croc farm that used to be on the road between Rockhampton and the coast.... 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Is the price is till available today?
Check with IPS Siem Reap (find them on Google).
Hi is it possible to have a DRYER As well as a washer in my apartment?
A dryer is CRUCIAL I don’t care how hot it gets or if I pay more money
Thanks
Very rare to find, in fact I can't recall ever seeing one in an apartment. You can certainly buy them, and that's probably what you'd have to do. A dryer would have a big impact on your electricity bill, too. But like most things in Cambodia, if you don't mind paying, you can usually get what you want. :)
@@ForRiel thanks so much I forgot to ask u in your opinion is Siem Reap ALOT SAFER than PHNOM PENH?
To live I’m probably going to visit both maybe 4 days in each place but I heard more mugging sin the capital I didn’t realize how BIG Cambodia was 😳Since it’s about 3 hours by plane from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap
Another concern is Does Phnom Penh have a REAL APPLE STORE I don’t think Siem reap does but at least if PP does I won’t need to leave the country to buy Apple products etc etc 🙄
Does it rain a lot there I saw how huge nice malls are in Phnom PenhI hope Siem reap gets a Aeon mall and or BUT as long as I’m in walking distance to the biggest supermarket there were the apartments you listed close by ?
THANKS SO MUCH 🌹
I like #3. Who wouldn't want to live next to crocodiles? Now I know what to do with all these bod..nevermind.
I reckon it would be fascinating but smelly. Would depend which side of the building you were on.
Hi Guys I am confussed now as sites are saying that Australians travelling to Cambodia need to get their visa before traveling there, I will be moving to Siem Reap to live as I am fully retired in Australia and I get the pension to which I am allowed to live in any country around the world with the medical disability pension I receive. When I arrive in Siem Reap Cambodia I want to get the visa on arrival if possible and then get the 1 year retirement visa. Is all this possible for me in 2024 as I am not sure now? I don't want the tourist visa as I want to stay for a long time in Cambodia. Thank you guys for any assistance in information you can give me and I am an Australian citizen as well!😀
Further to my other response, email the Cambodian embassy in Australia. It can't hurt.
I still think these are all too much for cambodia. I'd like to see smaller apts with no roosters.
An agent is good. If you go home hunting on your own via tuktuk, make sure you tell the owner/manager the tuk was just driving you around and did not recommend the place. The driver will say in khmer he recommended it and want a commission every month. Good luck negotiating the price down then.
Yes, we have no issue using an agent - they do make things easier if the landlord doesn't speak much English, and they are always there to help out if something goes wrong. We found a great apartment - can't wait to see what you think when we do that video. 🛵🙏🌴🏠🙂🙏
@@ForRiel totally agree using a good agent is best as you can definitely run into issues with a rental .. especially in this price range and upward .. without an agent you can spend the day just looking at rubbish ..IPS are definitely probibly the best along with Daka Kun realty
They have always offered us really helpful and very friendly service
I'd rather pay $275 for a nicer one bedroom in the Wat Bo area. I don't need two bedrooms.. I'm with you, I wouldn't pick any of the three apartments. Those crocs were a surprise...you would definitely have to buy a very big BBQ for them.
Yes it was weird to see those crocs so close to the middle of town. Since then, I have heard people say that feeding time is very smelly. Yuk!
What's the going rate for decent weed ?
No idea. This isn't Thailand! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The houses are comparatively more expensive than those in Thailand.
Ok 💖
That's just the asking price, mostly you can get $50 to $75 off them.
Cheaper to rent a hotel room monthly no deposit no bills fresh towels and easy life and just visit a 5 star hotel 🏨 when you fancy a drink and a swim 🏊🏼♂️ simple for under $300 easily 👑
The apartments in Cambodia are basic and the furniture is mostly rubbish 😂 especially under $800 a month
It's definitely an option, and would make a lot of sense for a single person. We like the separation of a living room and a bedroom as there are two of us and sometimes the extra space is nice. Also, having a kitchen and a washing machine is important to me. I think living in a hotel room would feel a little too temporary somehow. Having an apartment feels more permanent. I think that is also part of the attraction.

Hi Claire and Jeremy,
This is Joe Halsall the Pommy from Brisbane.
I will arrive in Siem Reap on the 31st of October 2023.
Looking forward to meeting you both, I will go to see IPS for a Appartment and hopefully meet you both.
Thank You,

Nice one, Joe! Send us a message when you get here. Safe travels!
@@ForRiel I certainly will we will have a beer together thank you
Small is good. Small TV… not so much.
We don't care that much about TVs.
@@ForRiel Me either unless it’s a Smart TV and I can load my Netflix account on it! 😁
Seems idiotic to have the very large rooms & very little in them ? Not cheap to cool either. A 2 br for $275 is a real bargain ! Steps or elevator ? Likely will raise that price soon ?
Yes you often find really big bedrooms here and small loungerooms. It doesn't make sense if you like to sleep with air con as we do.
Nice those apartments, but since it is impossible to get a visa for a year it is totally useless
What? 12 month visa is absolutely possible.
First one overpriced, second too far out, third one better.
Agree. We live a bit past the third one now (in Slor Kram) and really like the area. It's green and leafy. That particular building though.... the water reservoir on the roof 🤮 and the crocs. I've since heard that they can be smelly, and I guess that makes sense.
Have they made cannabis legal yet?
You'll have to go over the border for that!
@@ForRiel Thanks.
OMG...1 bedroom apartments for 275-359,-, hehe,those are for fool tourists.
Why? Sure, you can get apartments for less but not as nice or with as many facilities as these. If someone wants to pay a little more for something nicer, it doesn't make them a 'fool tourist.' 🤣
@@ForRiel nice view dont mean NOTHING if markets,clinic are farway.
What tacky apartments!
Seriously?
