What about something like the Essence at Jade Condo Flats in Barrhaven (also by Richcraft) ? 1,070 sq.ft for $232,900, right by the transitway (downtown/work in 30+ minutes via bus, possibly less when LRT Phase 2 extends to Baseline) while still within walking/biking distance to all amenities and nature trails.

Just thought I'd throw it out there as another option because you certainly have a lot of choices in this slow(er) real estate market where builders are throwing in all sort of incentives/bonus.
