Watertown has an express bus to Copley. Here's one example in your price range:

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/51-Myrtle-St_Watertown_MA_02472_M42044-85037

Realtor.com had a handful of listings under $700k. The one on Myrtle St is walking distance (a little over 10 minutes) to Watertown Yard bus depot, but there's also a parking lot at the bus depot.

I was going to suggest this area too. Good access to the river/ walking path, express bus and the little downtown there has some good places.

If they want a fixer and smaller home, like Nana's cape they she lived in for fifty years, they could get a single family home for $700k in Watertown.

This is a good suggestion. The East Watertown apartment I live in is valued around $700k. 1,200 sq ft, 2.5 bed, 2 bath.

Quiet/safe area, close to the Charles (big if you bike) and Arsenal Yards. Transit is ok: 15 min to Harvard, 40 min to Copley.
