The mountains are visible from Denver, which is a big qualitative difference.

But yes, practically if you are about that life you would live on the western side of the Metro area (Boulder / Broomfield / Westminster / Longmont / Arvada). In those areas you really are right there - the plains run right up to the Front Range so you can build right up to the mountains in a way that isn't quite possible here in the east.
