Known as the Ground Hill, located in the Northwest part of Phnom Penh, bordering the district of Russey Keo, Daun Penh, Chamkar Mon, Meanchey, and Sen Sok. It is one of the most popular residential districts for expats, only ranked after Boeng Keng Kang, Chamkar Mon, and Daun Penh.
The Highlight of Tuok Kork
Tuol Kork is a district of Cambodian elite families and high-ranking government officials, which houses plenty of the largest and most elegant villas in Phnom Penh. However, due to the recent quick development, several of them have left and their villas are now being served as commercial venues or the company’s headquarters.
The district has seen rapid expansion in recent years as a result of an influx of new enterprises. The growth can be credited to its strategic location, infrastructure, and accessibility to other suburbs of Phnom Penh. The surge of firms, ranging from local startups to multinational corporations, has converted Toul Kork into a vibrant commercial hub.
The development has created job prospects, recruiting professionals from various industries, resulting in local economic growth. TK is projected to reinforce its status as a prime business district in Phnom Penh as it evolves.

In recent years, Tuol Kork has gathered a number of mid-range to high-end residential developments, resulting in a variety of housing options to cater to both young local and expatriate professionals.
