The best choice would be Chapel Hill or Carrboro if you are working in RTP. The commute will be from the other direction, with much less traffic, you have the downtown pedestrian friendly atmosphere, and the small town feel. You will need to spend $350k to $500k on a house for that areas though.
Sanford is out of the question for access to RTP.

I'm not sure why TARP thinks Sanford is out of the question for access to RTP. On the contrary...there are a number of people who live in Sanford and commute to the RTP.(Yes, I know them personally. Have also made the drive myself.)
There are several ways to do it, but the most pleasant is to go around Jordan Lake. It's about a 40-minute commute, low stress, few traffic lights, great scenery... especially this time of year with the trees changing color.
