Totally disagree to rule out Nova. 500-550 is a healthy budget for this area. It's not like OP asked for a 4000 sq ft SFH for that price. Job market is great, tons of IT jobs. I'd definitely explore the area further and give it a chance.

The region is huge and prices vary by area, and you want to live fairly close to your job, wherever that ends up being. You can go to Redfin or Zillow and use the map feature to get an idea of what housing costs here.

Thank you all for your responses so far. This has definitely been helpful.

To clarify more, our expectation for a rental is for a 2-bedroom and I believe we will need to up our budget based on the posts. Definitely a change in what we were originally thinking but looks like we will have to work towards that.

For buying, we are open to a town home or a SFH which is close to our budget and in a great school district.

I will continue doing more research based on the pointers that you all have given.
