I don't think that you have done anything wrong.
As far as I can tell, the devices "announce themselves" using Wifi and Bluetooth - but in order to actually use them, you need to be in the same Wifi and, depending on the configuration, also enter a code, or be connected to the same Apple id, for example. The point is that by merely seeing that there is an Apple TV nearby it does not mean that you can actually use it.
I have an Apple TV and I can see it in my iPhone when I am close, even when the iPhone and the Apple TV are connected to different Wifi networks. However, in that particular circumstance, I can't do Airplay to it - and you probably also can't Airplay to your neighbor's Apple TVs.

I see all my neighbor's wifi networks but I can't log into them unless I know the password. If a network or device is broadcasting its presence then you will see it just as others will see your network if it is broadcasting its SSID.
That's strange. They don't show up on Bluetooth at all, only on Airplay. Since Airplay works over Wi-fi, is it only remembering from a past connection?
It's quite possible that a neighbor connected to my modem since the apartment was under renovation for some months after the modem was installed. When I logged into the modem there was a record of all the devices that connected to it. I changed the Wi-fi name and password and changed the modem login password and verified that it was using WPA2.
There has to be a way of getting rid of those devices from Airplay.
Most likely they are from a neighbor.
How? I have secured my modem. Why would devices on another LAN show up on my LAN?
I live in an apartment complex and I can see most of my neighbors Wi-fi devices. I can't see their airplay devices.
