Someone proficient in ArcGIS would probably already have it done. Thanks for both of these links.

The western boundary is delineated by Everett Street all the way south to North Beacon Street. Union Square is 100% in Allston; the zip code boundary wanders a couple blocks SW of it. BTW: North Allston and North Brighton are those parts of each neighborhood north of the Mass Pike. Boundary between Allston and Brighton: zip code 02134 vs. 02135.
