Liberty Harbor is a neighborhood in Jersey City, New Jersey situated on the Morris Canal's Big Basin opposite Liberty State Park. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The harbor was originally conceived in the 1970s to replace disused land and brownfields. [7]

The neighborhood masterplan follows concepts of new urbanism; [8] the masterplan was originally created by architectural firm Duany and Plater-Zyberk. [9]

The Marin Boulevard station and Jersey Avenue station of the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail serve the neighborhood. [10] A NY Waterway ferry route between Lower Manhattan and Liberty Harbor was inaugurated in 2009. [11] [12] Liberty Landing Ferry operates from the foot of Warren Street.
