I vote for moving to a new community. A little more in rent for piece of mind is worth it. I just finished apartment hunting and it's not easy, nor pretty but you can find stuff out there. If you want to PM me your price range & requirements I can let you know if I saw anything in that range when I was hunting a few weeks ago.
Stay away from buying right now. The market isn't finished going down and the mortgage industry is still in chaos. Concentrate on the present - look for a new apartment, move, get settled then look at buying while watching the market. The last thing you want to do is rush into a foreclosure property in an area you aren't sure about / loving because your lease is up. Once you are settled you can start saving/seriously looking to buy. A few thousand to break your lease to buy the dream home is better than rushing into a home you are unsure about "but the price is right".
