Neighborhood recommendations for elderly parents

Raleighites- looking for your help and insight for relocating my almost 80yo parents to the area (not into an elderly community). They are moving from a 900k home in Indiana located on a lake and interested in something similar but smaller (2500sqft) in the triangle. I’ve explained to them that a lake is not possible but a pond (or retention pond more likely 😆) might be feasible. They want me to come up with a list of areas for them to visit this summer so they can house hunt for something that has master on main floor. I’m familiar with some areas of the triangle but looking for community knowledge. I’ve been instructed to keep it within a 30min or less drive from 540/Knightdale area. Where would you look if you were moving your own very opinionated parents to the area?? I appreciate all your suggestions.
