Is the cost of living in Kep high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Kep, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Kep is relatively low compared to Western countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is quite affordable. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also reasonably priced. Internet connection is relatively cheap. Groceries are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce at low prices. Eating out at inexpensive restaurants is also quite affordable. However, dining at mid-range restaurants can be a bit more expensive but still reasonable. Transportation costs are also low, with affordable public transportation and inexpensive gasoline prices. Owning a car can be more costly, but it's not a necessity due to the availability of cheap public transport. Healthcare is also reasonably priced, especially in public hospitals. However, for more serious conditions, expats often choose to travel to the capital city, Phnom Penh, or even abroad for treatment. Overall, the cost of living in Kep is quite low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live abroad on a budget," explained one expat living in Cambodia.
