About 30 residents volleyed friendly jabs across the bocce ball courts at Vi at Bentley Village senior living community in North Naples.

And from the south and west, three-story apartment buildings with pools, bocce ball courts and an outdoor biergarten have recently gone up.

In 2005 they paid $400,000 for the vacant parcel next door, which they use to host barbecues, play bocce and hit golf balls.
