Lake Mathews in Woodcrest is a serene mountain community centered around the Lake Mathews reservoir in Southern California. This neighborhood is known for its custom-built homes, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, with styles including contemporary properties with Tudor-inspired features and Spanish Revivals.
