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.
