How do I find a place to live in Kep?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Kep involves several steps. First, you need to decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could be anything from a small apartment to a large villa. Next, you should research the different areas in Kep to find a neighborhood that suits your lifestyle and budget. Some popular areas include Kep Beach, Kep National Park, and the Crab Market area. Once you have an idea of where you want to live, you can start looking for available properties. There are several online platforms where you can find listings, such as Khmer24, Realestate.com.kh, and IPS Cambodia. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, price, and other factors. In addition to online listings, you can also find properties through local real estate agencies. These agencies have extensive knowledge of the local market and can help you find a property that meets your needs. Some reputable agencies in Kep include Sihanoukville Property, Cambodia Property Shop, and Kep Estate Properties. Once you find a property you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and ask any questions you may have. If you decide to proceed with the property, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease with the landlord or real estate agent. This includes the rent, the length of the lease, and any other conditions. Finally, once you've agreed on the terms, you'll need to sign a lease agreement and pay a deposit. The deposit is usually equivalent to one or two months' rent. After this, you can move into your new home in Kep. Remember, it's important to take your time and do your research when looking for a place to live. This will help you find a property that suits your needs and budget," explained one person living in Cambodia.
