The 18-year-old's parents, Phil and Claire, are thought to have been involved in choosing the house and he is determined to keep the close-knit family together despite his emergence as one of England's outstanding talents.
The family are not wealthy, though Foden's success has allowed them to move from Edgeley, a modest Stockport suburb, to Bramhall, in affluent south Manchester, to be close to the independent school Foden has been put through by City.
The move is likely to change little for the player who has always lived at home, doesn't drink and doesn't yet drive.
He takes cash, rather than cards, on nights out and is thought to have taken out a substantial mortgage on the new house.
Foden is thought to have no desire whatsoever for a loan move away from his home town club to give him more game time - despite 18-year-old Jadon Sancho, who is two months younger than him, getting an England senior call-up on Thursday, having left City for Borussia Dortmund.
Foden's close relationship with his parents - he still fishes with his father - makes him more suited to continuing his development at City.
