Does she live by herself?? With roommates??
If so, drive all the way to her. If you meet halfway, you're logistics are bad for ending up at either place. And if she won't drive to you, It'd be better to drive all the way to her. Then you can maneuver your way to her place (use Roosh's bathroom line at the end of the night), or just figure out any way to end up at her place.
Don't risk being in a bad area just to avoid looking desperate by driving to her. If you're worried about looking desperate, text her something like
"Hey, I'm gonna be in (her area) tomorrow night visiting a friend, let's grab a drink while I'm there"
