I'm going to stretch the meaning of the term "Midwest" and recommend Denver. The only problem with your list is #3, but you should be able to get pretty close. I'm thinking east of I-25, south of I-70, west of Havana St, and north of Evans Ave/Iliff Ave.
If we are doing that, then you could just include the Interior Northeast. For instance, I was thinking of parts of the Buffalo area like parts of Eggertsville in the very good and pretty diverse Amherst Central School District. There are some nice residential areas that are within walking distance to the Rail Line and Main Street in Buffalo, with some other walkable areas of Buffalo nearby. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Univ...42.9590965!3e2
I honestly can't tell if the both of you are being obtusely sarcastic or if you just truly don't know any better?
They probably don't know any better.
Ann Arbor, Madison, Iowa City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago...and don't forget Milwaukee---all of these are good options, and I guess I'll include Columbus, as well..
Urban suburb of Milwaukee with great schools, walkability, several bus lines, proximity to downtown, and has been dubbed the most liberal suburb of Milwaukee.
A single family house under $250k will be hard to come by but they do exist. You could certainly get a condo though.
I believe Lakewood, Ohio may be a match for what you are looking for. Only been once, but from what I remember it was super safe, walkable, and had good schools. Median home prices well below $200k so it is pretty affordable. It is a a well connected inner ring suburb of Cleveland and is pretty progressive and becoming increasingly diverse. I believe it is the only city school system without a school bus system so most kids walk to (even encouraged to walk to) school from what I remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu3DjlAPsSc
Of course I don't live there or anywhere in the Midwest so I am no expert! I just liked it there (and Cleveland Heights) when I visited and I live car free myself and walked to school as a kid so I generally gravitate towards a certain kind of place in my travels. Good luck! Can't go wrong with many of the cities mentioned here!

I pay 875 for a decently sized studio apartment in downtown Minneapolis in which all utilities are included. When I lived in Saint Paul I lived in a large 5 bedroom two storey house with good yard space for only 1,500 a month. If you think that's expensive, you can go to my hometown of Miami. Good luck finding a place downtown for as little as 875 down there.
