What does "safe but not too safe" translate to?

I heard this on one of those HGTV shows as a neighborhood quality that a buyer was seeking. Is that another way to seek suburb? What would be an example in the DC Metro area?

I would think it means relatively crime-free, but not lily white and gated.

To me that means generally safe, but there are areas you need to watch out for, and you can't just leave your doors and windows unlocked.

Ditto. I can't stand gated communities, but to each their own.

Gated communities are seriously dangerous. Just ask Trayvon. Oh, wait, you can't -- he was shot and killed by a jackass.

Very relevant, thanks.
