It's not exactly downtown Jersey City but the daycare center at Port Liberte is very nice. I can vouch for it b/c my 8 month old son goes there right now. If you work in downtown NYC, it might be an ideal place to put your child b/c you can drop him/her off and take a 13 minute ferry ride to downtown manhattan from port liberte.

Not 100% if he meant $6000 but my friend owns a couple of properties at Port Liberte and he told me the maintenance fees for a 2 bedroom condo is around $1200 a month.

If he owns a boat slip, he probably owns one of the bigger properties at port liberte which might make the $6000 monthly fee a possibility.

It really amazes me how people can afford to buy at Port Liberte. With taxes and condo fees, i don't know how it's better to buy than rent.

No real reason for moving to Port Liberte specifically. My wife and I were expecting our first child so we were looking for an apt that included a parking spot. We were initially looking to move into the Roosevelt on 10th street but after finding out the rent of a 1br plus another $200 for parking, moving to Port Liberte worked out to be cheaper. I do not regret it one bit. I have loved every minute of living in port liberte. only downside is it'll be very hard to find another apt with similar amenities for the price.

And sorry to say, i do not own a boat. I am still looking to make friends with a resident that owns a boat. ;)

Let me just point out that living in Port Liberte doesn't mean we have access to the golf course. Yes, the golf course is right next door but it definitely is not open to port liberte residents.

you gotta pay to play...as the saying goes.

I am currently living in Port Liberte. i moved here from living in downtown JC (on 3rd st between coles and monmouth). I am currently renting so i do not know any of the details about condo fees and such but it has been a really nice place to live so far. i work in tribeca so taking the ferry for me is not the best way to go. there is a nj transit (# 981) bus that runs from port liberte to the grove st path station mon-fri. like the ferry, there is no bus service on the weekends so owning a car is a must if you want to live in port lib. the ferry costs around $7 each way so taking the bus (which costs $1.25 each way) is a much better deal for me. The bus takes on average 20 minutes to get to the path station.

if anybody has any other questions about Port Liberte, i'll try my best to answer them.
