Its all upto you buddy. I can tell you that 1bhk near Pasadena would cost you at least around 1400-1500 plus the utilities. That said with the increase in the pay, you need to figure out the tax you are going to pay. Using some simple google search will let u know the amount u will get on hand. But if you want have some life than I would suggest go for Pasadena. Life is good with lots of options for weekend.

Which industry you work on, if you are IT , specially Developer, and still young and single, California is place to try for fortune, you should always go there. But don't hang into crappy old corporate for 75-80k, work hard and join startup.
