You can get a used piano at a moving or estate sale (or even sometimes a thrift shop) and they will hold their resale value far better than keyboards. If you have good relationships with your neighbours in your apartment you can work out reasonable times to practice, and there are ways to soften the sound that won't damage the piano and still allow you to practice.<br><b>References : </b><br>M.M., teacher for over twenty years, now in Dallas/Fort Worth I have a Chickering console on a 4′x6′ area rug, which basically means it takes up the same amount of room as a full-sized keyboard, and I live in an apartment too, and even teach from there.

It has the traditional piano sound, though not the extent of a real piano, has a headphone jack, volume adjustments, all the keys, pedals, etc. It also has disks you can insert to teach you how to play. I have a Clavinova and it's great. If you cannot afford a Clavinova, then get a digital keyboard. Have fun! =)<br><b>References : </b><br> A Yamaha Clavinova would work well for you.

A keyboard has no weight under it so you build up no strength to properly play the piano. If you are serious about playing the piano a weighted keyboard is fine to start with, but a piano will be essential in the future.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you start on a keyboard with weighted keys you will start to build up the finger strength while still learning the notes.
