ie that aren't ridiculously expensive? Everything I've seen is incredibly tiny. Looking for a house to rent but not into this thing of being all crammed up against people......do I have to go way way out in the "boonies?"

What area do you prefer. Bigger lots are normally in older areas, and rental homes usually seem to be grouped into areas that while not bad are not great or are recovering.
Inside the beltline you will find a few neighborhoods (look for the Longview area) that are decent areas, good sized lots and you will probably find an older refurbed house.

What is your definition of "ridiculously expensive" and "boonies"?

What size lot? A full acre? More? Less? You have to define your hyperbole if you want specific answers.
I don't have a precise size in mind, but even yards as modest as 1/3 acre in all but the oldest areas are extremely rare (and no way am I living inside 440 or even 540). Also size isn't everything. eg a place with a smaller yard that backs up to a common strip of woods still gives a nice-sized buffer.
"Ridiculously expensive" meaning oh roughly $1500+ a month and "boonies" meaning ...let's see....I'd more than about a half-hour to town (eg Raleigh or Cary-ish).

So you are looking to rent then? And you want a newer home?
Well, you don't like Knightdale, so I assume Wake Forest and Rolesville is out as well. You should be able to find that in Garner or Apex maybe.
You should be able to find several options in your price range in Cary (3 bed, 2 bath, 1500-2000 sq ft, built in 1980s). We've got friends who bought a house in Central Cary with a 3/4 acre lot for under 150K, cool neighborhood built in late 70s, tons of trees. Their mortgage is well under 1500/month, and several houses in their area are rentals, so poke around.
Yes on rent and yes RELATIVELY newer - I would say about 15-20 yrs old or less.
Wake Forest is not out - Garner and Apex are though.
If you are willing to live in Wake Forest....then I fail to see what the problem is. There are several homes that should work for you available for rent at that price range and a bit lower.
