There was a Far Side cartoon some years ago, who's captions pretty much sum up everone's predisposition: "Welcome to Heaven, here is your harp / Welcome to Hell, here is your Accordion."
The accordion is much maligned, but the numbers are right. Plays chords and melody, carries pretty well without amplification, minimal floor space, is portable and uses no power. The perfect strolling instrument. On the other hand, if you don't need to stroll and have the space, a keyboard is a much better bet.
A lot of stores carry small Roland keyboard amps and Yamaha powered speakers that may do the trick for you. An amp and speaker cabinet all in one piece, a couple of inputs, some basic EQ, reasonably priced - could be all you need. Maybe you can find one used, or better yet borrow one to try - lots of keyboard players have these things.
