I have to scoff at what some other suburbanites consider ghetto or unsafe areas. There are some areas in Fairfax that are sketchy but nothing too bad. Even DC itself isn't too bad although you can get jumped there. I've been all over the place in "scary" Anacostia and some neighborhoods over there would fit in just fine in "swanky" Arlington.

As one of the earlier posters mentioned you want unsafe and scary for real, try some of the ghettos north of here. There are neighborhoods in Baltimore and Philly that look like war zones.
