How do I access the value of a variable set in razor from jQuery? In the code below, I'm expecting "admin" but am getting "object Object" instead. Something fundamental I'm missing.

Never use alert(object) to try to debug. Use
console.log("_area:", "@_area", $("@_area").length)
Objects always appears as [Object object] when coerced to a string
(either via alert or via "" + obj)
In your case, @_area = "admin" so this will output in the html/javascript as:
$("admin")
which isn't a valid selector, so should be:
$("#@_area")
Also note that if you output a jquery object $("bad_selector") - it's still a jquery object, so use $("bad_selector").length to determine if it's working.
You can also view the rendered html to see what your Razor is generating, sometimes this will make the answer obvious.

Because $('...') - is JQuery object. Check this out: alert("_area: " + '@_area')

Or just
alert('_area: @_area')
