Just some background: I have been playing violin since the 1st grade (currently a sophomore in college), and throughout the way I've picked up many instruments such as the piano (now my main), cello, viola, saxophone and a few more. I started out with an instructor for violin and piano but learned the other instruments mostly on my own, and after you understand the basics of music theory and performance then it gets easier. So piano is a really good starting instrument to teach you all these aspects of music.
I know that most university music departments have practice rooms with a piano in there, to my knowledge most universities don't charge if you're a student there. The music department will also offer private lessons at cheaper rates than other private instructors, and sometimes the students there might offer free/cheaper lessons just so they can get some experience teaching someone. But regardless of whether you get a teacher or not, you need to get a good book to teach you the basics.

This is a link to a Suzuki piano book for beginners, it's like $10 and Suzuki is highly regarded in the music world as a better way to teach music performance. Like many professional instructors get certified to teach Suzuki materials. Also I recommend looking at videos online showing the proper form when playing the piano, because bad form will hurt you in the future and it will be harder to change so why not fix it right now.
Have Fun!
Thinking about buying a used keyboard myself and trying to learn. Are these the books you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/Suzuki-Piano-School-International-Vol/dp/0739054473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539302636&sr=8-1&keywords=suzuki+piano+book+1&dpID=51jf8cG3Q4L&preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Also, do you recommend getting the CD that comes with it or just the book?
