2K Mortgage payment.
Unfortunately you can’t get a 2k mortgage in a good neighborhood anymore (Good neighborhood is essential for this question since "good public school" falls in line with reasonable, we’re assuming we don’t have enough money for private). You’d have to try 3-5k mortgage payment for a SFH in a decent school district with the current rates and house prices.
