Although previously seen as “a bit out of the way”, even for a relatively small city like Phnom Penh, the investment into connected infrastructure means that Koh Norea and the Chbar Ampov area are much more accessible and new malls, attractions and other amenities are making the area attractive for residents and developers.
Where Is Koh Norea & How Connected Is It?
Located to the east of the capital (we think it’s southeast, but if you scan the property developers’ news and media about the area, it feels like every point of the compass has been used to describe its geographical location).
What can’t be denied is that the area is situated along the southern banks of the Mekong River but has views of the Bassac River to its west and northwest, and is located to the north of Chbar Ampov. Actually, Koh Norea is a small tip of (mainly repurposed land) where the Mekong River flows into the Bassac River – with ‘Koh’ in Cambodian translating as island/peninsular.
The Chbar Ampov district (or Khan) itself was formed in December 2013, and although separated from the Phnom Penh city centre by the Bassac River, accessibility to the capital’s northern and southern regions is possible via two bridges.
A short drive across these will enable residents to easily reach Koh Pich as well as other landmarks such as the Independence Monument, Royal Palace, National Museum, Aeon Mall and Hun Sen Boulevard to the south which itself has become a prime location for all types of real estate developments seeing a plethora of shopping malls, condos and access to international schools.
