Condo or borey house? Choosing the right home for your family

Space, security, commute and budget: how condos and borey houses compare for families in Phnom Penh.

By Home Planet Editorial

Families moving to Phnom Penh usually choose between a condo in the centre and a house in a gated borey further out. Both can be great; it depends on how you live.

Why families choose condos

  • Pools, gyms and playgrounds on site
  • 24-hour security and reception
  • Shorter commutes to BKK and Daun Penh

Why families choose borey houses

  • Three to five bedrooms for the price of a 2-bed condo
  • Private parking and a small yard
  • Quiet streets where children can cycle
