It's a good central location with up and coming amenities and new west going through a revitilization fairly quickly. There's still a lot of skids and whatnot around that area, but a new tower right there, if i had the dough i'd be definately considering it for a rental property.
People just up from the street there also on carnarvon are paying 1800-2200 for SHIT builds (terrible EI builders, i beleive the buildings are 309 and 318 Carnarvon) so you should be able to get a pretty penny for a tower right on the skytrain.

I though about getting into New West as well. But a few small things set me back. First there aren't any real meals or shopping centers near the skytrain station or close by any apartments (Think Nelson by Metrotwon, Coq center near all those apartments) is all within 5mins walking distance to a reasonable mall, supermarkets, skytrains etc etc.... Not to mention there are a ton of small stores nearby. I also feel traffic will be really bad in that area and it will take time to develope. Also New West still need a lot of clean up. Maybe it will be great in a few years or maybe it won't (Think of Surrey central and King George) nice apartments nearby but the area is still not that great.
