“The Waterfront thrives on its location mere steps from Queenstown's heart and the lake's edge. Lakefront balconies capture views that define a stay here, yet some apartments show their age awaiting updates. Its blend of convenience and potential make The Waterfront a noteworthy choice for those prioritizing location.”
