Thank you for the comments from qbonline and bigbang.
Actually I love this model from Urbandale in Riverside south called solana,
http://www.urbandale.com/construction/properties/solana_a_09_07.pdf
However, I was told by Urbandale that there was no 44 lot left to build this model and Urbandale may release new lots after a year in riverside south.
So I went Richcraft. If you look at the model called foxden from richcraft that is exactly same as fillmore’s design but richcraft is asking for $467,900 in riverside south.
Now I am holding a lot to build fillmore until the weekend. I am little afraid about this price is not worth for this model.

1）Richcraft 的 Bancroft户型曾获得Ottawa-Carleton Home Builders' Association Awards （非地下室空间在1500呎以下的Townhouse单项）。
2）这款户型设计完全不落俗套，和Caledonia等走传统路线的户型相比明显比较另类；其空间利用设计相当精巧、很多细部都经得起推敲。
3）其最大的缺点就是整体空间比较小（所以便宜些么），因此直接造成第三个Bedroom小到了不能再小、只能放单人床的地步。。。不过我倒不认为它的主卧室太大，因为16-5X10-10的主卧室也只能说是刚刚合适。另外它的Bedroom 2本身并不算太小，而且方方正正、窗户位置合适因此做双人客房是足够的。
4）主层的设计完全是开敞风格，但这既是优点也是缺点。如果拘泥于Living Room那块空间的话就会显得局促一些，更不可能放下电视什么的。。。但如果Dining Room另作它用，就可能有很多新思路。至于地下室，其实并不算大（相对Carledonia来说)，而且壁炉居中挺碍事的。
5）所以对这款不落俗套的设计，喜欢它或者拒绝它可能出现两极分化，端看评论者自己。而房主自己今后的空间布置、装饰细节什么的，相比其他传统户型对整个居住氛围的提升的作用相对更大（网上见过有比样板房更好看的布置）。
6）特别提醒一下孩子比较小的父母：Living Room传统摆沙发或椅子的位置紧靠楼梯栏杆，太小的孩子不懂事，可能翻下去造成重大伤害，一定要事先防范。。。另外楼上的sitting area也需要严格限制孩子进入，否则孩子可能踩着桌椅爬上栏杆，一翻下去可就不得了。

谢谢点评。 很长见识。我家领导已经拿定主意买Bancroft. 其实我喜欢Urbandale 的 Sausalito, 特别是Kanata Lakes 的Model home, 可惜不卖。
$458,900 for Solana model in riverside south from Urbandale.
大家评评urbandale这俩个户型对一个4口之家来说哪个更好？

谢谢。
I personally like Sapphire A better. The extra money spent on Ridgecrest can be used to do a lot of upgrades on Sapphire, like granite countertop, hardwood stair, etc. I have been to a Ridgecrest being built, and the impression is not very good.
Pros of Sapphire:
Spacious living room, spacious open-to-above, door to kitchen from dining room, tall ceiling in master
Cons:
smaller bedrooms, master has "half" cathedral ceiling
Pros of Ridgecrest:
extra study, slightly larger bedrooms, full cathedral in master
Cons:
dark narrow upper hallway, narrow living/dining rooms, narrow open-to-above, small closets, and more expensive

呵呵，urbandale的户型PASADENA，楼上带LOFT的那种应该就是你喜欢的设计，整个房子给人的感觉很宽敞舒适，不吝啬空间，楼下客厅的吊棚也很高，但好像算面积的；美中不足的是楼上只有两个房间，虽然都不小，总感觉房间还是少了点，洗衣间也在上面，主卧在车库上面不知道冬天的取暖好不好？？我感觉也不错，正在考虑中。。

个人目前对riverside south的看法： 环境好，没什么污染，位置也不错，价格也还算公道。但是最大的问题还是发展问题，很多年前去那里的小区，到现在新的小区，这么多年路一直说修宽，到现在都没修好。周边的设施实在太少，除了大统华比较吸引人外，几乎没别的便利设施在附近。社区发展缓慢，不仅会严重影响升值空间，也会增添很多不便。但是如果大桥真能及时修好，的确会让这片地炙手可热。但问题是加拿大的效率让人没有信心。
barheaven发展时间长，投资大。已经是个大型的社区，周边的设施非常便利，至于飞机噪音问题，我自己中心地带亲自体验，声音非常小，基本可以忽略，当然也许有的地方会大些，可是新区完全不受影响。 至于堵车问题，自己正好在那里上班并且是rush hour时间，从来没赌过。prince of vales 虽然是单行，但是很奇怪的是完全不堵，可能归功于那条线路行驶速度非常快的原因吧，再加上barheaven四周交通四方八大，大大舒缓交通问题。但是它的最大的弊端也是因为非常成熟价格偏高，而且新区确实比较偏远。
自己其实也在这两个区选择间挣扎。期待高人指教

感觉的河边交通比王子路那边流畅多了。
