The only residency specification the U.S. Constitution makes regarding U.S. Representatives is that when elected he/she must be a resident of the state wherein is located the congressional district to be represented. U.S. citizenship for a minimum of seven years is also required, but it is possible to be a U.S. citizen without being a U.S. resident.
