Having just sold our condo in Philly and moved to the South Bay, I can concur with the above comments. You're not going to be able to afford the same lifestyle here if you expect to buy!
Where in the Northeast did you live? Philly in general and the NE in specific is one of the last major undiscovered gems of real estate bargains out there, so you're going to get some sticker shock no matter what. We lived in Center City, and found that midrange apartment rental costs are somewhat comparable between there and here, but there's a lot more expensive and a lot few cheaper options here.
