The Garden Residency is a completed condominium in Khan Sen Sok, Sangkat Phnom Penh Thmey, Phnom Penh, set on Street 1984. It’s in the “north-of-central” part of the city where a lot of daily life happens outside the tourist/CBD areas like shopping runs, school drop-offs, commuting to the airport side of town and generally having more space than the riverside districts.
The building was developed by JS Land. It was launched in 2016 and completed/handed over around 2019, which matters because it’s no longer a “promise on paper” project, buyers and renters can judge it based on real, lived-in condition, building management and the actual neighborhood experience.
Location and day-to-day convenience
Phnom Penh Thmey (Sen Sok) is typically chosen for practicality with quicker access to the northern commercial zones, easier routes toward the airport side and a growing mix of supermarkets, malls, clinics and schools. From this address, you’re also positioned for convenient trips toward major shopping and services around Sen Sok (including the AEON Sen Sok City area and big-box groceries), without needing to cross into the busiest downtown traffic for everything.
Building scale, layout and what that means for residents
The Garden Residency is a 19-storey tower. Total count is 212 residential units. Practically, you should treat it as a mid-sized condo, large enough to have real facilities and onsite management needs but not so huge that it feels like a mega-complex.
Mostly units in this project are 1–2 bedroom layouts, commonly in the 35–56 sqm range (exact size depends on the stack and layout). That size band is important for setting expectations: these are generally “efficient city apartments,” not big family apartments, great for singles, couples, small families or investors targeting renter demand, but not ideal if you want wide living areas and lots of storage.
Amenities and shared facilities
The Garden Residency is built around a lifestyle-condo idea, with shared spaces that are meant to feel like an escape from street-level Phnom Penh. Facilities highlighted for the project include two infinity pools, sky garden areas and a rooftop garden with open skyline views. In real terms, these amenities can be a genuine quality-of-life upgrade but they also come with ongoing maintenance requirements, so it’s worth paying attention to how well they’re maintained today (water quality, deck condition, cleanliness, rules and operating hours).
Surrounding amenities
The immediate area is a mix of local services and “new Phnom Penh” conveniences. A practical rule of thumb here is that you can find daily needs (food, cafes, banks, schools and shopping) within a short drive, rather than needing to plan trips into the city center every time you need something.
What to check before buying or renting here
Because this is a completed condo, the due diligence is straightforward but you still want to be methodical:
- Building management quality: cleanliness, security posture, maintenance response time, and how rules are enforced day to day.
- Monthly management fees + sinking fund policy: understand what’s included (security, pools, common electricity, cleaning, etc.) and what’s billed separately.
- Parking reality: whether a unit comes with parking rights, and how guest parking works.
- Title/transfer clarity: confirm the exact ownership documentation for the unit you’re buying and the seller’s ability to transfer cleanly (standard condo due diligence in Cambodia).
- Unit-facing and noise: in Sen Sok, road noise and construction activity can vary a lot by which side and floor you’re on.
Who it tends to suit
The Garden Residency generally fits people who want a finished, functional condo in Sen Sok/Phnom Penh Thmey, especially renters or owners who prioritize convenience and amenities over being in the city-center lifestyle districts. It can also suit buyers who prefer evaluating a real building (condition, management, neighborhood) rather than taking development-stage risk.
