Low Maintenance Single Speed

Hi

I just moved to Providence and started to use my walmart hybrid bike as an everyday commuter
In less than a week I started to see some rusting and yesterday my chain broke
I keep my bike outdoors and rarely leave the first speed - so I started looking at single speed bicycles thinking they might be easier to maintain and lighter

While doing research on the SE Draft (which my local bike shop is selling) I stumbled across your forum
I saw that SE has a bad rep here along with the Pure Fix (and Kilo TT has a good one - although i'm not looking for a fixie)

Could you recommend something that is under $500 that is reasonably comfy and would be easy to maintain?

I am looking to do around 2 miles on it daily - all in the city - and keep it outdoors. I'm not really interested in speed. Sealed parts would be huge plus. And i kinda like the idea of a coaster brake (but it is not a necessity)

Thanks
