A member of the U.S. House of Representatives is constitutionally required to only live in the state which they represent.
However, there is a strongly followed unwritten convention that House members maintain a residence in the district they represent and it is highly uncommon for a member not to do so.
By way, they have to maintain some sort of residence in the state or district they represent. Most, however, have a residence in the DC area. Some live in an apartment by themselves and go back to their constituency most weekends or during recess. Others bring their families in the DC area. The latter generally applies to senators and members in safe districts.
It can really run the gamut in terms of what conditions they live in. Mitch McConnell, for example, lives in a $1.3 million house in Capitol Hill. John Boehner, on the other hand, rents out an English basement in a house in the same neighborhood.
