Miami's poorest and most dangerous neighborhood.
Liberty City is a neighborhood in North Miami, Florida, within Miami's city limits.

The area comprises more than half of Miami-Dade County's nearly half a million African Americans (as of 2000 Census). Liberty City's boundaries are roughly as follows: Northwest 79th Street to the north, Northwest 27th Avenue to the west, Northwest 41st Street to the south, and Interstate 95 to the east.

Liberty City is named for the Liberty Square Housing Project (Pork-n-Beans) built in the late 1930s for Miami's low-income African-Americans, the second of its kind in the South at the time.

Liberty City is home to Miami Northwestern High School which has had a student population of more than 2250 students the past four years with more than 90% African-American and 6% Hispanic. Liberty City also produced the Miami Heat's Udonis Haslem and professional wrestler Alvin Burke, Jr. (better known by his stage name MVP). Darlyne Chauve's art studio and gallery is in Liberty City. Liberty City has produced many of Miami's rap stars.

  • je veux jouer a liberty city
  • That first statement is false. If you do your research, the top 2 poorest neighborhoods in Miami are Overtown, followed by Opa-Locka.
  • I have been to Overtown and I would have to agree that is poorer and also a very dangerous place to be especially at night. Opa Locka is pretty bad too and so is Miami Gardens.
  • Just drove south on 27th avenue to Isla Canaria from NW 167th. great Cuban food and no big deal in the neighbrohoods of opa locka, Miami gardens or Lib city. Daytime driving only though
  • Liberty City and Overtown are neighborhoods of Miami. Miami Gardens and Opa-Locka are their own cities.
