Habitown Kohkaew

Habitown Kohkaew is a completed residential development of townhouses and villas in the Koh Kaew area of Phuket Town, the administrative and commercial capital on the island's south-east. Set inland rather than on the coast, it suits buyers who want everyday city convenience — hospitals, schools, malls and year-round local life — over resort living. The community is a practical choice for Thai professionals, long-term expat residents and families building a base on Phuket.

The homes and who they suit

The resale market at Habitown Kohkaew centres on townhouses and detached villas — enclosed, low-maintenance family homes with private living space, small gardens and secure parking. This product fits households that need genuine room to live rather than a holiday studio: couples relocating for work, families needing bedrooms and a home office, and owners who split their year between Phuket and abroad. Because the homes are already built, buyers can inspect the actual unit, finish and community before committing.

Location and access

Koh Kaew sits on the northern edge of Phuket Town with quick access to the island's core services. Central Festival and Floresta shopping malls, Bangkok Hospital Phuket, government offices and international schools are all within a short drive, and the Sino-Portuguese Old Town heritage quarter is close by. Phuket International Airport is roughly 35–40 minutes north via the main highway. The nearest sandy coast is the south-east shore — Chalong, Cape Panwa and Rawai around 15–20 minutes south — while the west-coast beaches of Patong, Kata and Karon are about 30 minutes over the hills. Several golf courses lie within easy reach for weekend play.

Ownership and lifestyle

As landed townhouses and villas, these homes sit on Thai land, so foreign buyers typically hold through a registered 30-year leasehold or a Thai company structure rather than outright freehold. Rental use follows either a long-let model for residents and staff or a short-let model, subject to the relevant licensing. For a buyer prioritising central-island convenience, medical access, schools and the character of the Old Town over beachfront, Habitown Kohkaew is a grounded, liveable option in the heart of Phuket.
