As a west coast transplant who is also a mosquito magnet, let me tell you that it sucks. I spent a whole summer getting bit every time I left my old rental. I have also been attacked at outdoor restaurant seating in the middle of the city, probably got 15 bites in 5 minutes. And during the summer I can’t use my second floor balcony in my current place. If you haven’t settled down yet I would recommend staying away from older row homes (someone will have an unkempt garden that breeds them) and look for apartments on a higher floor, but in general you just have to stock up on bug spray 😔
