Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clambered to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address claimed they'd never seen here there.

The Democrats' rising star actually lives down the road in a much larger apartment, her spokesman revealed.

The New Yorker strongly denied a Saturday report in the New York Post, which claimed there was scant evidence that she lives in the Bronx condo where she is registered to vote.

'She lives there,' the freshman congresswoman's spokesman Corbin Trent told DailyMail.com, referring to a condo in the Parkchester neighborhood that was owned by Ocasio-Cortez's late father.

'That's home, period, for her. That's where she gets her energy, her drive. She not only lives there, that's where her heart's at, period,' Trent said of the condo.

Ocasio-Cortez has a unit in the Bronx apartment complex, where her family lived when she was young and which remained in the family after her father passed away in 2008

But on Sunday, spokesman Corbin Trent said she actually lives 'a block and a half away' from the listed address in a two bedroom apartment with her boyfriend, having made the switch last month.

Trent said the 29-year-old was relaxing at her new residence on Sunday afternoon, but he didn't identify the address.

'She is not living in the exact same condo,' but remains in the neighborhood, Trent said.

He said that he had worked for Ocasio-Cortez for two years, and personally knew she had lived in the condo until recently.

In July, DailyMail.com reported that Ocasio-Cortez had actually spent much of her youth living in upscale Westchester County, in seeming contrast with a hard-luck campaign biography touting her Bronx roots.

After living in the Parkchester condo until she was around age five, her family moved to the suburban home for better schools, selling it when her father tragically died of cancer in 2008, but retaining ownership of the Bronx condo.

The latest controversy deals with a more recent question: Where does Ocasio-Cortez live now?

Since 2016, Ocasio-Cortez has listed the Parkchester condo as her residence on voter registration forms.

Yet the Post claims that neighbors down the hall say they have never seen her in the building.

'I would have remembered,' one resident of 40 years told the Post, saying he'd never seen Ocasio-Cortez or her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, who also lists his residence in the unit.

Employees at a nearby grocery store and pizzaria told the newspaper that they had never heard of the now-famous congresswoman patronizing the businesses - though a server at a nearby taqueria had spotted Ocasio-Cortez once, when she came in for the purpose of being filmed by a news crew.

Trent dismisses those claims, saying that while it's always possible someone might not recognize Ocasio-Cortez, she is well known in both the building and the neighborhood.

'I've watched her interact with people coming in about out of the building,' he told DailyMail.com. 'She's a frequent fixture in the neighborhood.'

The mailman who has delivered to the building for a decade also told the Post that mail for her and Roberts piles up in their box for months at a time.

The mailman said that no other mail was addressed to the condo, only Ocasio-Cortez and her boyfriend.

Trent explained this as a fact of life for a busy candidate and then freshman congresswoman in transition, saying that Ocasio-Cortez had been gone for weeks at a time in particular during congressional orientation.

Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez has also drawn criticism because she has yet to open a district office, something the other three freshman representatives from New York have manged to do.

The congresswoman's district office will open in this building in Jackson Heights around March 4, her spokesman told DailyMail.com

Ocasio-Cortez claimed that she wasn't able to take over her predecessor's district office because the landlord wanted to nearly double the rent, to $15,000 a month.

'That spike would have meant less caseworkers for our community,' she wrote on Twitter. 'Instead, we're making a new space with a family business!'

Instead, she has rented an office space in Jackson Heights, Queens, which is currently under remodeling.

Although the Post estimates the cost of that space at nearly $17,000 a month, Trent says the cost will be much lower, and less than the $15,000 her predecessor's space would have cost.

Trent said that the new office will open around March 4. He said that until that time, constituents have a variety of ways to get in touch with the representative, through phone, by mail, and on her U.S. House website.
