Don't know wehre you're coming from, but my first thought is Edison NJ, a NYC suburb of about 100,000 with a large south Asian population. Its schools and quality of life are reputed to be very very good, housing costs are reasonable, and its about an hour commute from midtown Manhattan. Can't vouch for the downtown walkability of the place, however. I was there years ago and it seemed fairly suburban and car-oriented, though I didn't see the entire town, only one residence. Maybe others here know more about it.
Your list seems like it might cover a lot of suburban candidates.
Troy, Michigan falls into that category though only the south side of the city has bus service. On the plus side, the bus hubs are at the malls so as long as you can get to a route, you're good. It's 20% asian out of 81,000 total residents but not sure how many are specifically south asian. To me it seems like a fairly even mix of both south and east asians. Crime is about average for a suburban community save for shoplifting at the malls.
The homes on the south side of the city range from 100K to 200K. The north and west side will likely be over your budget and range from 350K to 600K and above. But then those areas don't have bus service and the houses are much are much bigger and newer than the homes of the south side. Mostly depends on what you're looking for in a house.

I have heard of Edison City but couldn't find any information on the public transport in the city.
