It is officially a neighborhood of Boston, but you can put either in a mailing address. Hell, here in Fields Corner, some put Boston MA, some Dorchester MA, some Fields Corner MA

you can put whatever you want on a mailing address for anywhere, the post office doesnt care what you call the city. just the street address and zip
