Riverbend Apartments was an infamous 600-unit apartment complex located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, off Interstate 285. It has been described as Atlanta's most notorious singles complex. The apartment complex was also the plot setting for part of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can.

History

Located in Cumberland district of Atlanta, Riverbend got its name from the fact that it overlooked a bend in the Chattahoochee River.

By the late 1970s, laws that prohibited "no-children-allowed" apartments were passed, and the singles scene shifted elsewhere as residents married or moved to newer complexes. It has since been redesigned, and is now known as "Walton on the Chattahoochee."
