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.
