Scarea

A scary area (typically used to describe a part of town associated with poverty, crime, suspicious individuals, and all-around sketchy characters)

Gina: Well, it looks like I'm moving. I hate apartment hunting. Everything in decent, clean, safe parts of town is so overpriced.

Frank: I know what you mean. Seems like the only affordable apartments in this town are tiny.

Gina: Tell me about it! I saw this one apartment online that looked so nice, but I took to trip to look at it, and it's in a scarea.

Frank: aw, that sucks.

Gina: Yeah, no thanks. I choose life.
