Port Liberté is a neighborhood in Jersey City that used to be one of the many ports on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. It was filled with industrial buildings until 1990 when developers began to transform the neighborhood into an upscale residential complex. Port Liberté has emerged from bankruptcy to become Venice on the Hudson. Liberty National Golf Course, the only golf course within a 15-minute ferry ride of Manhattan, opened here in the summer of 2006.
