Forty years ago, the waterfront was a very different place. What began as a bold vision has grown into Jersey City’s premier waterfront community.
For four decades, it’s been more than a destination, it’s been home.
Set along the Hudson River, Newport offers a unique balance of city energy and waterfront calm. With residences, retail, dining, parks, offices, and public spaces all close by, everyday life feels connected and convenient.
From morning routines to evenings by the water, it’s a neighborhood designed for how people live, work, gather, and unwind.
A neighborhood built over time, shaped by the people who live and work here every day.
