Is "end-result‘ a neutral term or a negative word? Thank you.
A person really likes a place, can I say he feels he has found his end-result here? I feel a little bit weird to use this expression. Can you please offer me another one?

This is not a suitable use of this term. An end result is exactly that - the final result of a string of actions. For example: because our taxi was late we missed our train, so we got to the airport late and we missed the plane. The end result was that our holiday was competely ruined.
To say that someone really likes a place we can say he has found his home, or even his home-away-from-home if it's not a place he will live, but will only visit, or we can say he feels at home there.

You could say that, but you would be the only one. I would never say it.

End result isn't the phrase you want for this situation.
Depending on the nature of the place, "home away from home" may be a better choice.
