I ask this question because an area we once lived in was actually walkable to all 3.
Our preference would be walkable from high school. That's the age I can most trust my kids to be able to handle themselves.
Even though in Irvine I see really young kids walking or biking to school, I just don't trust the crazy drivers or even worse, the crazier stalkers (even in Irvine).
Granted, for high school, you can live farther because by 11th grade your kids will be able to drive, but at the same time, I think traffic is crazier because there are so many people dropping off (less high schools than the other levels) and you have to deal with those teenage drivers too.
