it depends on the way you live... but compares to bangalore, cost of living here is much cheaper. you can save lot of money here..
If your work location is Hitech City, then you better chose Gachibowli, KPHB colony these are the best places. You can have access to many super markets, shopping malls, hospitals and parks. KPHB is the biggest developing spot in hyd from several years. Even rents in this place are quite cheaper compared to Bangalore's poor locations. So dont worry you will have good time here.

The Only Problem I faced In Hyderabad during my short stay was Traffic and Water Logging/Drainage Problems during rains. I dunno if all this has been changed, But I'm talking about 3-4 years back !! Rest all you would almost find the same as B'lore.

Good Luck
