We show that all sufficiently nice λ-sets are countable dense homogeneous (𝖢𝖣𝖧). From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal κ ≤ 𝔟 there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space of size κ. Moreover, the existence of a meager in itself countable dense homogeneous metric space of size κ is equivalent to the existence of a λ-set of size κ. On the other hand, it is consistent with the continuum arbitrarily large that every 𝖢𝖣𝖧 metric space has size either ω₁ or 𝔠. An example of a Baire 𝖢𝖣𝖧 metric space which is not completely metrizable is presented. Finally, answering a question of Arhangel'skii and van Mill we show that that there is a compact non-metrizable 𝖢𝖣𝖧 space in ZFC.
