Since you are staying in apts for 6-12 months, you will have time to do some shopping and look around for yourselves.
But please keep open minded since houses these days in DFW area are not cheap. From towards mid to end of 2016 and early 2017, house here sky-rocketing.
With your budget in good school zones, you will NOT even find town homes /condo around 2200 sq foot new build.
Just budget and area is not enough info to point in right direction. New build vs old (old vs little old/few years) also comes into play. Sq feet.
But as mangale suggested FT worth with Keller ISD is a very good option. But commute to work will be longer. Houses in FT worth is still rising and has potential to grow faster than other area.
HEB ISD is also good and houses are still cheap there.
Check Viridian community in Euless/Arlington. Might have to bump your budget to 350K and houses are still cheap there compared to other places. but tax is high for that community. But a gem for family to grow with lots of parks and lake inside community.
Flower Mound, Grapevine are expensive. Plano has east vs west (old vs new) concept and good for tech people to find job. Schools are good. In new side of Plano I do not think you will get houses for 320K.
Forgot Coppell, it is crazy expensive.
Remember, rates are crazy low. do not wait too long...everyone/most experts believe rates will stay like this but you never know. a week makes a lot of differences (i got 2.875 vs my friend got 2.5)
If buying old houses make sure to have good agent (even if that means no kickback to you). If new build, try to find agent who gives you good kickback. some agents give back everything except $1k for that 3 % they get. that is 10K for your house which will cover closing cost.
Hope this helps.
