Hyde Park still resembles a suburban town. The neighborhoods of Allston and Brighton occupy the northwest corner of the city to the west of Fenway. The Allston-Brighton area is bordered to the east, north, and west by the Charles River and to the south by the Massachusetts Turnpike and the town of Brookline. It is an industrial and residential neighborhood that is also the location of Boston College and Harvard University Business School. Large communities in the surrounding area include Revere, Everett, Somerville, Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, Dedham, Milton, and Quincy.
Suburbs fan out to the south and west, and extend north to the New Hampshire border.
