Hi Cynthia-
Are you familiar with Chicago?
If not, its better to rent and learn the neighborhoods rather then being tied down to one place- Just too many factors involved when looking to buy.

I disagree with Maria
If you are planning on staying in Chicago for 5 years I would recommend purchasing. Prices are the lowest they have been for years and downtown Chicago is always a desirable destination to live. Even in the slowest markets there is always demand.
I would only recommend renting if you are unfamiliar with the city and not to sure which neighborhood to live in. Then after that 1 year I still recommend purchasing :-)
Hope this helps!
