My friend with a similar budget moved to the Cincinnati suburbs in KY and says they have great schools.

OP, if you don't mind the cold, try looking near Stevenson HS in Buffalo Grove/Lincolnshire Illinois. As far as I know it consistently ranks high in public school ratings, and the city environment means you can likely find a job. Plenty of tennis, swim, and golf. The house will not be beautiful, but it will be livable. Make sure to save for them heating bills!

Which part of upstate has 200k houses? We moved to the Rochester area and homes are closer to 350k in the areas with good schools. Plus the taxes are very high...

Atlanta seems like a much more expensive area than North Carolina. Are there reasonable places with great schools?

No but we can’t afford the area anymore. He’s played sports down in North Carolina. It seems the most comparable to where we live now and there are great job prospects there. Even if I could stay in the area I’d have to switch school districts.
He's dead
This makes no sense. In the OP you said you were recently divorced.
Three years from. Sorry. To me it's still recent.

It's only 4 years away, just rent for now and buy when the school district doesn't matter anymore.
I need cash. I can’t afford rent and utilities and food and activities. I’d like to sell the house and buy somewhere with no mortgage
Don't see how that makes sense. If you need the cash, isn't it best to take on a new smaller mortgage instead of plunking down $300k?
I can't do that anymore.
NP: why not? Also, what is your industry?
Construction

Pittsburgh? Who wants to live in Pittsburgh? It's cloudy 24/7.
Someone who’s trying to find a house for $300k.
Pittsburgh is nice but not a lot of jobs for me
