“The Waterford On Main Beach impresses with its spacious apartments and unobstructed ocean vistas from every floor-to-ceiling window; privacy is notably enhanced by having only two apartments per floor, a thoughtful touch. I particularly appreciate its unique location, nestled between the beach and the river, and the easy access to dining on Tedder Avenue.
