Chak Angre

South and Southwest Phnom Penh

A southern riverside corridor with local housing, industrial traces and newer apartment or compound development on the roads toward Takhmao.

TransportCity Bus runs on the larger southbound roads, but most short trips are by PassApp or Grab tuk-tuk; the exact side street matters more than the district label.

A southern corridor, not a riverside retreat

Chak Angre is a small southern corridor divided in local usage between Chak Angre Leu and Chak Angre Krom. The Bassac side and newer apartments give it some residential appeal, but National Road 2 remains the practical spine and a serious barrier to a relaxed walking routine.

The area makes most sense for someone travelling south towards Takhmao or working in the wider Mean Chey belt. It is less compelling for a central office worker who wants to stroll into BKK. The river is part of the geography, but it does not turn every road beside it into a pleasant promenade.

Road access and the home

City Bus serves larger southbound corridors. PassApp and Grab tuk tuks are more useful for the lanes, while a motorbike or car makes the wider area easier. Test the crossing and the turn into the building at peak time. A home that is close to a main route can also be exposed to its noise.

There is no rent research for Chak Angre in the map record. Inspect drainage, water, ventilation, parking and any construction beside the property. For families, the school run should be measured by the actual stopping point, not by a straight line from one map pin to another.

Would I live here?

Yes for a southbound routine and a building set back from National Road 2. I would not pick Chak Angre for effortless central walking. Its best quality is practical access to the southern city, and its main weakness is that the same road network shapes every other part of the day.
