As of 1992 West Oaks had 30 houses on fairly large lots.〔Freemantle, Tony and William E. Clayton, Jr. "(Bushes to build home here )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Friday November 20, 1992. A1. Retrieved on October 17, 2012.〕 Claudia Feldman of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said in 1992 that West Oaks and West Oaks Drive South "are nifty, like pages out of a New England tour guide."〔 Herbert Wells, an interior designer from Connecticut who lived in West Oaks and was quoted in Feldman's article, said that the area was "charming" and reminded him of his home state.〔 As of 1992, in West Oaks, mansions and regular houses that had decaying paint were next door to one another. Many "for sale" signs are visible throughout the neighborhood, while Tanglewood does not allow "for sale" signs. Feldman said "If Tanglewood is homogenous, West Oaks is not."〔
As of 1992, many older houses were being torn down so newer houses could be built.〔Hamm, Madeleine McDermott. "(Architect Eubanks gets the nod to design Bushes' new house )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Tuesday December 1, 1992. Retrieved on October 15, 2012.〕 Feldman added that "Most of those down-at-the-heels homes will be snatched up, then bulldozed to make room for town homes."〔 In 1992 Tony Freemantle and William E. Clayton, Jr. of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said that "the trend recently is toward smaller lots and self-standing townhouses" such as the lot that the house of George H. W. Bush was built on.〔
