Pasadena!..very beautiful and peaceful. Nice mountain view and alot the city kept its historic looks. You should move close to Old Town if you like to shop.

I agree. Pasadena is a great city. But make sure you move south of the 210 freeway. The north part of the city, north of the 210 freeway is a bad area with lots of crime. Just make sure you move south of the 210 freeway, preferably in "Old Town" Pasadena, and you'll be happy.

Lots of nightlife in Old Town, lots of restaurants, coffee houses, bars, etc. Easy to get to downtown LA or other places due to the MetroLink public transit system that has several stops in Pasadena.

Pasadena is awesome. Don't listen to the "don't move north of the 210 freeway" comment. In that part of town you have Bungalow Heaven which is one of them most sought after neighborhoods in the country. Also up there is Garfield Heights, I'm looking at a home there. Thanks to gentrification, most of the nastiness up there is cleaned up. North Fair Oaks is still icky. There are many other historic districts as well. Studio apartments are either in buildings or on the back of other houses in residential neighborhoods.

Following me and harassing me, but other than that, I enjoyed the Starbucks across from the city hall
And the Asian American museum

Pasadena is gorgeous, but I chose Santa Monica due to proximity to the ocean. It gets much hotter in Pasadena than SM.

Pasadena is nice and I'd like to live there if I worked closer to there..and had the money for it!

Old Town is kind of like a cleaned up version of the promenade less homeless people hanging around, and it feels pretty safe in general.

East Pasadena near Hastings ranch and the Sierra Madre Villa Metro station is pretty nice but mainly SFH. Lots of nice areas with mostly apartments near PCC and Caltech towards Lake Ave. Many new apartment complexes near the Target on Lake, too.
