Yikes!! I have mercifully escaped such a fate. i think I was 25 at first apartment and it was at ground level. It was in Tallahassee so i had some of the requisite Florida bugs but stayed dry.
I had one below ground place and was there for a good three years. Well a full three years.... It was an illegal duplex but at least if something went wrong the landlord was upstairs.
Where were you before Connecticut (which, BTW, is a perfectly lovely state for the most part...)?
