Neal didn't, neither did Hook or Smee: it's the frozen time in Neverland that kept them all from aging, not Pan's magic. I think the most logical explanation is they grew up while trying to figure a way to rescure Wendy, that Pan brought and kept them in Neverland for some time, then got them back to the LWM to do his bidings, then brought them back and so on, so they aged till present point before being brought there and in the in-between moments they spent in the LWM. But it would have definitely been hilarious to see the scene where all of them find themselves either in the middle of nowhere in Maine or on the road to somewhere without knowing how Wendy was rescued, or that Pan wasn't a threat anymore. I think it was directly stated by one or the other that Pan's magic kept them alive in the LWM for so long, wasn't it? I refuse to watch that mess of an arc over again. I just do. :P

But Neal, Hook and Smee were living there. John and Michael were never stated to have gone there.
