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.[1] The apartment complex was also the plot setting for part of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can.[2]

History

Located in

Sexual Revolution, due to its clubhouse keggers and nude pool parties.[1]
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.[4][5][6] It has since been redesigned,[7] and is now known as "Walton on the Chattahoochee."
