Not according to the Constitution...
Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution includes the requirements of holding office as a U.S. Representative, part of which states:
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
Therefore, by the Constitution, while there is a requirement to be a citizen of the state the district is in, there is no requirement specifically stating that one must be a resident of the district itself.
