Clearwater Beach
Twin Gulf-front towers on South Gulfview, the walk-to-everything Clearwater Beach classic and a long-standing favorite with rental investors.
440 West's two towers sit directly on the sand on South Gulfview Boulevard, in the heart of Clearwater Beach's resort stretch. Few buildings on the island combine direct Gulf frontage with this much walkability: Pier 60, the marina, and the Beach Walk promenade are all a stroll away, which keeps demand for these units steady from both residents and vacationers.
The complex is one of the island's established towers, and that maturity cuts both ways: unit interiors range from original to beautifully renovated, so pricing varies widely between nearly identical floor plans. Views, floor height, and renovation quality drive value here more than square footage.
Life at 440 West is the central-beach experience: sunset from your balcony, the pier's nightly festival a short walk north, and dozens of restaurants within flip-flop range. For owners who rent, that same location is the draw that keeps calendars full.
Because the towers are established buildings, the condo due-diligence documents (milestone inspection status, reserve funding, insurance placement, and current rental policy) matter as much as the unit itself. We track these for the buildings we work and will pull the current picture before you offer. For the framework, read our Condo Buyer's Guide and Flood Zones 101.

Part or all of this property's land is in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Lenders making federally backed mortgages require flood insurance on buildings in that area. Read Flood Zones 101 for what that means for a purchase.
Flood zones are FEMA's for the land parcel (for a condo, the whole complex), from the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map for Pinellas County (August 24, 2021, with later FEMA revisions) as published by Pinellas County, checked against FEMA's national flood layer. Zones touching under 1% of the parcel are left out. Flood insurance is rated on the building's own zone and elevation, which an elevation certificate confirms. Evacuation level is from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser record and matches Pinellas County Emergency Management's Know Your Zone map.
