Ugh, i wish they had something like “borough” for the official sections of the city i.e. Dorchester/Hyde Park etc

Well, Dorchester was, once long ago, a separate town entirely, with it's own neighborhoods.
Then the town was annexed by Boston, becoming a neighborhood of that city.
The old divisions of that area, however, persist as neighborhoods within Dorchester.

The word you are looking for is "part". Dorchester is a part of Boston.

“Parishes” of Dorchester would maybe work.

Why? How about you just learn about the place you moved to instead of getting mad it's not what you're used to?
