damn, the rough area thing might make some girls nervous and, until you move somewhere nicer you might have no choice but to do more more public dates than average guy.
In general , I think that humor and comfort are your biggest alleles. Don't bring up the rough area thing unless she does.. And if she does you can say something like " haha , don't worry, it is the nice part. # gentrification. "

Usually will be difficult since they are already scared of what you might do to them. Let alone what the area might do to them. haha. I'd recommend meeting at a bar first and build more comfort before pulling to your place
