In Longmont, no. Up at Carter Res just west of Longmont yes!
Boulder has Flaggstaff, Eldo, etc, and then theres Morrison to the south anf Horsetooth Res to the north.

Carter Lake, as stated above, is your best and closest best (20 minutes), as is its companion area Biglandia. Then there's Big Elk Meadows off the road between Lyons and Estes Park. Pile Tor (near Carter Lake; in Colorado Bouldering guidebook by Phillip Benningfield) is also pretty nice on cooler days, though limited.
You're not that far from Horsetooth Reservoir (45 minutes) either.

carter is closest and has easiest access to classics.
the sanctuary at big elk is a good spot, check out http://frontrangebouldering.com for better beta.
sure you can always shred your tips at flag.
i would skip the bouldering in eldo....better roped climbing there.
you could also go to the satellites under the 2nd flatiron in boulder. again info on FRB.com
if you are feeling adventurous. try camp dick. potentially a lot of walking around though.
if you have the time, ft collins has good bouldering too. more dakota sandstone at horse tooth (not too mention ultra classics) and the bouldering up the poudre canyon is delicious as well.
good luck!
