I'd also consider Ednor Gardens-Lakeside. Big caveat: while it's super walkable and has several bus lines, it IS 100% residential so you will have to bus/Uber/drive most places. If you're looking for a place where you can walk to restaurants/bars, keep on looking.
The payoff, however, is a very quiet and safe neighborhood with a mix of old school residents/families/young professionals who mostly own rather than rent. You've got two grocery stores (Lidl and Giant) that are a 5 minute drive or 10-15 minute walk away, plus Waverly Farmers Market is nearby and is open all year. The Waverly YMCA is also super close. Houses here will easily fall in your price range, if not under (Zillow currently has 4 listings right now with the highest topping out at $240k). And as a bonus, you've got Lake Montebello and Herring Run Park close by.
