Don't constrain yourself to condos. Condos pop up when other types of things are in short supply, but both Chicago and Philly have a lot of affordable actual houses, so there aren't that many condos.

I just ran a redfin search on properties in Philadelphia under $150,000. Here's what I found:
106 condos
301 detached houses
2,636 rowhouses

If I were you, I'd concentrate on those rowhouses. Philly is the king of rowhouse cities.
