MUNCIE, IN—Located at 1800 Burlington Drive, Riverbend Flats is a three-story, 60-unit development, situated at the intersection of Burlington and Memorial at the former Marsh and Family Dollar site. The affordable housing complex offers two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartment layouts, and units will be reserved for residents earning up to 60% of the area median income (AMI).

The project was made possible with the support of the City of Muncie, and with low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA).
According to Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour, 25% of the apartments have already been leased. Some of the Riverbend amenities include a clubhouse and fitness center, a bicycle sharing program, free Wi-Fi in all apartments and common areas, a playground area and more.
A new Pizza King facility is being built across the street from the apartment complex.
