Riverbend Apartments was an infamous 600-unit apartment complex located in suburbanAtlanta, Georgia, offInterstate 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 filmCatch Me If You Can.[2]
Located inCumberland district of Atlanta, Riverbend got its name from the fact that it overlooked a bend in theChattahoochee River. Developed by Crow, Pope & Land Enterprises in the early 1970s,[3] Riverbend was one of the 1970s Atlanta's most notorious landmarks of sexual hedonism. It was named byPlayboy as ground zero of theSexual Revolution, due to its clubhousekeggers 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."
