Which item is typically considered an insured location under a homeowners policy?

• A. The insured's primary residence only
• B. Cemetery plots owned by the insured
• C. The insured's commercial office building
• D. A premises not intended for residence

Answer: (B)

Under a homeowners policy, an insured location includes places where the named insured has an ownership interest and that are described or covered by the policy. Cemetery plots owned by the insured or a member of the insured’s household are specifically included as an insured location, even though they’re not a residence. This broadens coverage beyond just the dwelling itself to other properties owned by the insured. A commercial office building isn’t a typical insured location under a homeowners policy, since that type of property is generally excluded from standard personal lines coverage. A premises not intended for residence isn’t automatically included as an insured location either, and the insured’s primary residence-only phrasing doesn’t capture the broader list of places the policy may cover, such as other structures or owned lands like cemetery plots.
