Bridgeport is a new neighborhood, that will be released in The Sims 3: Late Night expansion pack[1]. It is designed to focus on late night activities, and is similar in many respects to Downtown, a previous sub-neighborhood introduced in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife expansion packs.
With the official announcement of Late Night, it was apparent that a new town would be created to showcase the new features in the expansion. Initially, it was unknown whether this would be a sub-neighborhood and thus similar to the Downtown of The Sims and The Sims 2, or whether it would be an entirely new neighborhood (much like The Sims 3: Ambitions introduced Twinbrook). During a Twitter session on July 29th, 2010, game producer Grant Rodiek confirmed the existence of a "downtown" that would be its own separate neighborhood; it was also announced that the town was unnamed, thus indicating that the new town would most likely not be named 'Downtown' [2]. GameSpot, in an article released on August 16, 2010, revealed that the name of the new neighborhood is 'Bridgeport'.[1]
The town of Bridgeport will include high rises and penthouse lofts. In a GamesCon 2010 Article, it was mentioned that Bridgeport would be more or less like Twinbrook, in the way that it will be made of multiple islands connected by bridges. Like in Twinbrook, Sims will be able to both drive and walk over these bridges.[1](Quote taken directly from gaming site)

Trivia
- Bridgeport is the name of many cities in the United States[5], most notably Bridgeport, Connecticut.
- Many players believe Bridgeport has a similar appearance to New York City, Detroit, and other major American cities, this may be supported by the screenshot from above. The bridge bares striking resemblence to the Brooklyn Bridge. However, EA has stated it is not based upon New York City.[6]
- According to a GameSpot preview, the city was inspired by San Franciso and Los Angeles, both major cities on the US western coast[7].
