465 Cambridge St
Allston, MA 02134 Allston

Allston is a neighborhood within Boston and is commonly administered collectively with the
adjacent neighborhood of Brighton. The two are often referred to together as “Allston-Brighton”.
It is otherwise surrounded by Cambridge, Brookline, and Downtown Boston. The Charles River
separates Allston from Cambridge, while Brookline and Downtown Boston are directly south
and east, respectively. Housing stock varies but largely consists of brick apartment buildings,
especially on Commonwealth Avenue and the streets directly off it, while areas further down
Brighton Avenue, close to Brighton, are largely dotted with wooden triple-deckers. Lower Allston,
across the Massachusetts Turnpike from the southern portion of Allston, consists of mostly 1890–
1920s single-family and multi-family Victorian homes.
Allston is home to numerous small businesses and restaurants. Brighton Avenue, between
Packard's Corner and Allston Street, boasts various ethnic and national cuisines from around
the world. Harvard Avenue hosts a number of furniture stores, thrift shops, and stores that offer
items for resale, due to the large student body and high residential turnover. The section of the
neighborhood that lies immediately south of the turnpike and centers on the stretch of Harvard
Avenue between Commonwealth Avenue and Cambridge Street also houses many shops, bars,
and restaurants. Recent business promotion initiatives have dubbed this area "Allston Village."
Allston lies near three major universities. A substantial part of the campus of Harvard University,
including Harvard Business School and most athletic facilities are in North Allston. Boston
University lies along Commonwealth Avenue to the east, with numerous schools and facilities
extending from Kenmore Square to Packard’s Corner. Berklee College of Music also has a practice
and rehearsal building near Commonwealth Avenue, on Fordham Road, which runs between
Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue.
